Lettuce – Cook Tour
Sat, Aug 29 @ 7–11pm
Tickets $40
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 “Maverick” 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 GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and Ziggy Marley, plus their live album and concert film Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony.
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.
