About

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.

    Lettuce always puts on a great show. What was exceptional was The Paramount Theater. What a great Venue and helpful staff. wish it was in the City.

    by Anonymous on 1/31/16House of Blues Boston - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    Excellent show. First set was dynamite. Full of energy from start to finish.

  • Wall of Funk

    by xharpuax on 1/26/16House of Blues Boston - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    You can't escape the funk. Don't even try. Dancing shoes on and get ready to put a little boogie in it.

  • Tremendous!

    by YourMomsMom on 1/25/16House of Blues Boston - BostonRating: 5 out of 5

    What a great show and great band. Would definitely go again

  • Lettuce was fun & entertaining!

    by dogzcatz on 1/24/16State Theatre - PortlandRating: 5 out of 5

    The Lettuce concert was entertaining and colorful. The way they incorporated the lights into the show, to coincide with the music was fantastic. The singer Nigel Hall who joined them for the second 1/2 of the show blew me away! So much energy on that stage, especially the trumpet player, Eric Bloom.

  • good funkin time

    by atothenn on 11/9/15Buckhead Theatre - AtlantaRating: 4 out of 5

    Words were scarce. Soul was not. Good, rockin funk band that will get you out of your seat and movin.

  • I've lightening and I've seen rain...

    by fledtynn on 6/8/15Red Rocks Amphitheatre - MorrisonRating: 4 out of 5

    It rained heavily during Exxmag and it cut their set short. The Motet was awesome.

  • killed it!

    by MartyTheParty on 6/8/15Red Rocks Amphitheatre - MorrisonRating: 5 out of 5

    Jazzy Jeff, The Motet and Lettuce absolutely KILLED it. Shout out to Lettuce for bringing on Neil Hayes but and even bigger shout out to The Motet for stealing the show!!! :)

  • Lettuce Funk is a Higher Ground

    by DeltaQueen7 on 4/27/15Civic Theatre - New OrleansRating: 5 out of 5

    Tight, tight, tight! Impossible not to shake your groove thing when Lettuce is in the house!! So, wear your dancing shoes. Shady Horns knock your socks off; best rythym section on the planet! It would be wrong not to laud the guitar, B-3 players and singers, too...all of whom are stellar players. Thanks, guys, for a fabulous show !

  • by Anonymous on 1/19/15House of Blues Orlando - OrlandoRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome show they only complaint is wish it would have been longer!!!

  • Top 3 Set Ever!

    by funkypandas on 11/4/14The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 5 out of 5

    This show was an amazing value and some of the best live music I've ever seen. Branx was the perfect choice to open for a funk/blues show. Soulive put on an incredible show- Eric Krasano is a guitar god. Then Lettuce rocked electric factory for almost 2 hours- hands down the best 30 bucks I've ever spent.

  • Never saw Lettuce - 3 1/2 hours, still not playing

    by Anonymous on 11/4/14The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaRating: 1 out of 5

    We were there at 9pm. The warm up band came on close to 10pm. They were very good and entertaining, but we never got to see lettuce. It was 12;30am and the band still was not on the stage. I've never been to a concert where I had to wait so long to see the act. As a matter of fact, we never saw the band, we were tired of waiting so we left. Lettuce is one of my favorites, but to wait 3 1/2 hours plus is beyond ridiculous. I'll never go see them again. Matter of fact, they should refund my money. Worst concert experience ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • by Anonymous on 11/3/14Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5

    Branz, Soulive, & Lettuce are all powerhouse acts. They preformed at the top of their caliber, as they always do.

  • Lettuce and Soulive

    by brancalisa on 11/3/14Terminal 5 - New YorkRating: 3 out of 5

    Show was good. The music was great. The venue itself is old.

  • Lettuce play!

    by Acesallin on 10/31/14Upstate Concert Hall - Clifton ParkRating: 4 out of 5

  • Missing solos and energy from other lettuce shows

    by cwbintx on 10/13/14House of Blues Dallas - DallasRating: 3 out of 5

    It was ok. HOB moved seats out of the balcony to a space back by the bar.
