Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers

Mr. Lucky and the Gamblers was a garage rock band that originated in Newport, Oregon, United States. Active from 1964 – 1967.

They were one of the most popular groups in the Pacific Northwest, with fans throughout Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Northern California and Western Canada. Their popularity was due to their hard-driving sound and by the success of several recordings. "Take A Look At Me", which received considerable air time on local radio stations, was their most notable contribution.

In the decades to follow, "Take A Look At Me", "I Told You Once Before", "Alice Designs" and "You Don't Need Me", have appeared on at least a dozen compilation CDs that are still available on the market, such as Highs in the Mid-Sixties, Volume 7. Their songs still appear on radio station play lists and a following has even migrated to clubs and radio stations in Germany in recent years.

In the summer of 2001, the band reunited for a one-time performance at the annual Seymour picnic at Oaks Amusement Park in Portland, Oregon. Many of the core members are still alive and well, although only a couple are still active as performing musicians.
