The Lucky Charms began late November of 2005. The First two members
were Christine Pugh guitarist, flutist, vocalist and Amanda Caruthers
guitarist and vocalist. They started playing at Marfield's Pub in
Leavenworth Ks. Focusing on vocal harmonies and a something for
everyone style the girls starting getting other offers to perform more
places. 17 year old vocalist, guitarist and bassist Alaina Romine joined
the band in March of 2006. The band continued to perform at Marfield's
and this gave them the chance to hone their skills. By summer of 2006
the band was performing 3-6 times a month. The band played at
McBride's in Overland Park Ks, O'Malley's in Weston Mo,
several private parties and benefits as well as their monthly gig at
Marfield's. When O'Malley's decided to open during the week the girls
jumped at the chance to perform weekly there and still perform every
Thursday 7-9 PM. Heather Melott, percussionist and vocalist joined
the band mid September of 2007. Adding that missing piece to the band.
All of the members sing, therefore you never get tired of hearing one
voice. Lance Laven, bassist and vocalist joined the band in
Feburary of 2008.
They sing harmony for each other which has become their
trademark. Their music is a mix of traditional Celtic, American folk,
Celtic tunes with the Charms own flavor and your favorite cover tunes.
They aim to please their auidence and if you request a song and they
know it are happy to play it if they don't know it will learn it
for the next time you are at one of their show.
The band recorded it's first CD in late December of 2006 with the help of
Brent Hoad, fiddle player for The Elders. Brent even plays fiddle on the
CD. You can buy the CD at CDBaby.com, through The Lucky Charms website

tunes from itunes and many other websites..
Their CD release Party at O'Malley's was a huge success with a
full house and even some fans who drove all the way form Colorado.

unique style of The lucky Charms.
