About
The album, Cook, isn’t just a nod to Lettuce’s musical heat; it’s an invitation to join the band at the table, where funk, soul, jazz, rock, and hip-hop come together in one rich, flavorful dish.
For these six life-long partners: Adam Deitch (drums), Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff (guitar), Erick “Jesus” Coomes (bass), Ryan “Zoid” Zoidis (saxophones, synths), Eric “Benny” Bloom (trumpet), and Nigel Hall (vocals, keyboards), Cook marks a bold expansion of their ever-widening musical palette. Released on their own Lettuce Records label, the album arrives on the heels of tours with rap icon GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and reggae legend Ziggy Marley, as well as the release of their live album and concert film Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony. Still, there’s a generous dose of Lettuce’s signature funk throughout paying homage to James Brown and the JB’s while honoring longtime mentors like Tower of Power and Maceo Parker.
More than just a figurative title, Cook debuts alongside Lettuce Red Crush and Orange Crush wines in collaboration with Aquila Cellars, plus a limited-edition recipe book of pairings included with the vinyl and digital release.
With Cook, the band feels like their concepts and ideas can come to fruition with an innovative team and devout fan base behind them—they're in a fresh new headspace ready to savor a new chapter.
Lettuce has partnered with the Colorado-based 501(c(3) nonprofit organization Music is a Language, dedicated to expanding access to music education, to create a transformative scholarship in the band’s name. This program will fund a full tuition scholarship for a deserving student to attend the Berklee College of Music where the members of Lettuce first met and began their journey together. The Lettuce Scholarship Aims to empower young musicians from underserved communities who demonstrate exceptional talent, passion, and dedication to their craft. By supporting this scholarship, you are helping open doors for the next generation of artists and affirming the power of music as a universal language.
For Lettuce, this initiative is deeply personal. It represents a full-circle moment for a band whose story began in Berklee’s 5-week program, classrooms and jam sessions, and now continues through dreams of future musicians who will walk those same halls.
With this in mind, Lettuce would like to include a $1 charity fee in the stated ticket price for this show. This will contribute to creating the scholarship program that will help students for years to come.
Lettuce is profoundly grateful for your generosity and belief in the transformative power of music.
Thanks for keeping the Funk Alive!
