Lucky
Fonz’s quirky yet engaging body of songs and lyrics has gained him a
dedicated international following. Lucky Fonz is known as much for his
distinctive live-act as for his two records: ‘Lucky Fonz III’ (2005) and
‘Life is Short’ (2007). Both records were initially released on Lucky’s
own label, MyStreetIsMine, and later re-released in Australia and South
Africa. His third record, ‘A Family Like Yours’, was released in spring
2009.

Lucky has toured extensively in Europe, South Africa,
Australia, Canada and the USA, opening up for, among others, Jason
Molina (Magnolia Electric. Co), Donavon Frankenreiter, The Beautiful
Girls and Badly Drawn Boy.

The name Lucky Fonz III was derived
from a given nickname, Lucky’s actual name (Otto Fons Wichers) and an
obscure royal connection. Despite his name and his sometimes
outrageously comic live performances, Lucky’s music remains stark. Next
to more obvious influences such as Leonard Cohen and Bright Eyes, it
blends classic American song traditions with European elements such as
French chanson and British 60s pop.
