LETTUCE is (a) the prime ingredient in a salad, (b) a slang for cash, (c) a green herb that can be smoked, (d) a genre-busting six-member musical collective formed in 1992 by four alumni of the prestigious Berklee College Of Music, or (e) all of the above. If you answered "e," then you're in on the sheer magic of a band that both feeds the rich history of funk and combines it with strains of hip-hop, rock, psychedelia, jazz, soul, jam, go-go, and the avant-garde.
The GRAMMY Award-nominated six-piece is comprised of Adam Deitch [drums, percussion, arrangement], Adam "Shmeeans" Smirnoff [guitar], Erick "Jesus" Coomes [bass], Ryan Zoidis [alto, baritone, tenor sax, Korg X-911], Eric "Benny" Bloom [trumpet, horns], and Nigel Hall [vocals, Hammond B-3, Rhodes, clavinet, keyboards]. To date, their discography includes Outta Here [2002], Rage! [2008], Fly [2012], Crush [2015], the EP Mt. Crushmore [2016], the live album Witches Stew [2017], Elevate [2019], Resonate [2020], Unify [2022], and now VIBE - a single 48 minute continuous session of pure, free-flowing improvisation, available digitally for the first time.
With VIBE, Lettuce cement their status as boundary-pushing innovators three decades into their lauded career, blurring lines and smashing up jazz chords, psychedelic passages, big horns, strains of soul and go-go, hip-hop elements for an uplifting, improvisational sound all their own. Ryan Zoidis explains, "we got into a vibe and hit record. 48 minutes went by like a blink of an eye. This is our first purely improvised recording. Nothing planned, nothing edited or overdubbed. This is a true spontaneous musical expression captured in its entirety."
All together now... Lett us VIBE.

Penn's Peak in the Lehigh Valley area of PA is a beautifully located venue. Magnificent views from the deck of the restaurant. Had dinner and then went downstairs to the show. All around friendly helpful staff. The band, Lettuce, was phenomenal! Excellent musicians all. Played for about 3 hours. Eclectic, polished and jammin'. Jazz, Funk and everything in between. Wonderful concert!
This was my first time seeing Lettuce,after seeing and listening to their music for the last year or so. I was watching to see if they ever came to Michigan in the Detroit area or surrounding suburbs, I was going to make it a point and go. I learned they were coming to Detroit at a venue I’ve never been to, but has been around forever. Let me say, it was awesome seeing Lettuce in person. They did not disappoint. The venue was surprisingly in good shape, clean, and with pleasant employees and atmosphere. Thank God they had balcony seating, or I may have had second thoughts of going, as I’ve stood for concerts before, and as one get long in the tooth, it becomes a bit difficult for that many hours. All in all, I’d definitely want to see Lettuce come back, and I certainly would go back to this venue. Actually, I’ve purchased tixs recently to go see another concert there in September.
Lettuce was great. A unique combination of amazing talent with the GR symphony. DeVos is also a great venue.
Was a good jammy show. Ppl behind spilling beer and talking the whole show
I had heard from two sources that these guys were good. They were WAY better than good! It was an incredible show, an amazingly tight band.
I had a great time I would go back to another show and do it all over again everyone was enjoying themselves
Beautiful venue, great set. Can’t wait to go there again
I love Lettuce but the sound was really rough at this show. Couldn’t hear Nigel at all and everything sounded lije it was underwater
Not really a bad seat. Great food. No Lettuce merch though...
Amazing day! Great festival! All 4 bands were great!!!
