Lettuce

From the venue:

Lettuce is a modern-day jazz juggernaut. The six-piece groove-laced instrumental outfit follows the teachings of funky forefathers like Earth, Wind & Fire and Herbie Hancock, but offers dashes of R&B, psychedelia, and an aggressive boldness that is completely their own. Through sax-driven melodies, trumpet injections, bobbing basslines, and finely tuned musicianship, the group has earned a fierce following of festivalgoers who swear Lettuce is best experienced in a live setting. Though Lettuce’s explosive take on classically inspired funk is lauded by festival crowds, the group translates surprisingly well to smaller more intimate venues. — Will Cardwell
