Lucky Fonz The Third – A Taxijam

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.
