With Devon Gardner on fiddle, Moriah Ozberkmen on mandolin, and Ian Alistair on guitar, the band is based in Boston. They can be heard playing energetic arrangements of traditional and original tunes.

They explore modern arrangements and the continuation of traditional music as a fresh and contemporary medium. After having recorded their debut EP in late 2022, Red Luck has been playing for listening rooms, raucous pubs, and roots music festivals around the United States.
