Lucky 13 unites the talents of Cathy Kreger, Marci Geller & Susan DeVita.

Response to their harmonies and musical chemistry inspired them to officially form a band in July of 2008.

Among their recent credits, they have performed on WFUV, Fox Morning Show and had a New York Times feature article. They have opened for Jack Hardy, KJ Denhert, Vance Gilbert, and sung backup vocals for Jay Mankita. Venues they have played include The Towne Crier, New Moon Coffeehouse, Chapin Rainbow Theater, Harry Chapin Lakeside Theater and The Living Room and numerous House Concert series. With eclectic styles and unique voices, together their tight harmonies and engaging life stories are garnering them fans across the country.
