Lettuce – drummer Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam Smirnoff, bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes, keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and trumpet player Eric Bloom – will close out 2018 and ring in the new year with a trio of shows in Texas (Houston Dec. 28, Dallas Dec. 29 and Austin Dec. 31) before kicking off their full 34-date headlining Vibe Up Tour January 10th in Rochester, NY. From there, the band brings their psychedelic sonics, blissful grooves, jazz rhythms and hip-hop inspired beats across the country to such cities as Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn (January 19th at Brooklyn Steel), Cleveland, Nashville, Atlanta, Memphis, Aspen, Las Vegas, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle, plus many others, before wrapping March 30th in Portland. Full tour routing below.
Known for their incendiary live shows, extensive touring, die-hard fans, and massive two-decade career, Lettuce brings forth a new vitality to classic funk music. Together, the stellar group of musicians continues to earn their name as a can’t-miss live act and acclaimed masters of their craft. The members of Lettuce are also highly sought after musicians in hip-hop and pop. Adam Deitch is a member of Break Science and has played with everyone from John Scofield and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli and Wyclef Jean. Erick “Jesus” Coomes is a noted producer who has worked with Kanye West and Dr. Dre and was a touring bassist for Britney Spears and The Game. Blending together their talents in a sound distinctly their own, Lettuce has garnered praise by the likes of New York Times, NPR, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, Relix, Red Bull Music and more.
Lettuce’s latest album, Witches Stew, is the band’s contemporary jazz fusion tribute to Miles Davis. PRESS HERE to listen. Recorded live at the 2016 Catskill Chill, the album is an interpretive take on the historically experimental and lauded Bitches Brew era. In a similar vein of Thundercat, Flying Lotus and Kamasi Washington, Lettuce continues to push jazz fusion forward with this latest release, a tribute to one of the band’s biggest influences. Lettuce is currently working on a new studio album.
