Lucky Peterson

December 13, 1964 – May 17, 2020

Walter Trout is among those mourning noted 51-year-old New York-born bluesman Peterson. A child prodigy, Judge Kenneth Peterson (his real name) gave his first performance while still a toddler. “We last shared a stage together in St Petersburg, Russia, with the Supersonic Blues Machine, for a group that included Vladimir Putin,” recalled Trout. “Lucky played and sang like the master that he was.”
