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.

    by sunshinedaydream on 2015-02-28The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    Amazing performance once again by Lettuce. I've seen these guys twice now and will continue to see them every time they come to Toronto. High energy, awesome groove, great band to see live. If you love funkin' dancing the boys will have you going from start to the final encore. Cheers,

  • So much talent and good vibes!

    by thabizzler on 2015-02-24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Break Science and Lettuce absolutely killed! Great vibes from everyone in the crowd, lots of dancing and smiling faces. Hope more live improvisational jamband keep coming out to Canada. Check out Illumination Music and Arts Festival for more awesome stuff like this Lettuce show. The organizers are trying to bring that magical american festival soul shaking , people loving, experience having vibe to Canada.

  • Break Science and Lettuce solid as usual

    by noreallyitsme on 2015-02-24The Danforth Music Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    Break Science was great as per usual. It was nice having them bring out Lettuce and the Shady Horns for a track near the end of their set. Lettuce killed it as per usual bringing the old school funk hard. The front row balcony was empty most of the show until some Danforth Music hall people showed up, stayed for a few songs then left early. Thanks for putting the fans first Danforth Music Hall...pathetic showing at best by the venue, and I actually love this venue!

  • AMAZING PLEASE COME BACK SOON LETTUCE
