About Us

Early collaborators Marques Nash (Vocals, Piano and Shago Elizondo (Guitar and Backing Vocals) and Andy Morimoto (Bass) formed the original foundation in December, 2006….it wasn’t until the addition of Jesse Williams (Drums) and Jonny Fung (Guitar, Piano, and Backing Vocals) that Lucky Five was truly able to settle into its groove and start developing what has become their unique and distinctive sound. With a drive unlike most young men this band is determined to be the best they can be…. They are always
looking for feedback, honing their skills, and becoming the best….

Lucky Five’s Sound

The band has been compared to a full spectrum of artists and sounds,
“The Bus Boys meets Fishbone with riffs rivaling Santana…..”Living Colour meets Fishbone ( who we played in support of) with a bit of Red Hot Chilli Peppers”…..”
Steely Dan meets Prog Rock”… A real combination of sound and experience that fires up your senses…. Lucky Five has roots in most musical genres, from funk to rock, jazz to blues, R & B to soul, the classics from the past to new music all over the board today.
