Lettuce

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. Released on their own Lettuce Records label, the band’s next studio album offers a menu of delights that marks a band exploring new sonic territory. On the new album, Lettuce has expanded its ever-widening musical palette again, coming off tours with both rap icon GZA of Wu-Tang Clan and reggae legend Ziggy Marley while earlier in the year releasing the live album and concert film Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony. Still, there’s a generous dose of Lettuce’s patented funk, paying tribute to the great James Brown and his JB’s and honoring mentors like Tower Of Power and Maceo Parker. For these six life-long partners, the new songs feel like a nourishing meal that entices all of your senses. The band also recently announced the launch of Lettuce Red Crush and Orange Crush wine brands with Aquila Cellars, as well as a recipe book of pairings to be included with the vinyl album and in digital form. The wine was brought to life by Bloom and Zoidis’ wine distribution company, Benny & Zoid Selections who made it accessible to purchase nationwide online. “Music and food are very related,” said Deitch. “Use the wrong ingredients in either and you can ruin the sound and the meal.” With Cook, Lettuce has the right recipe for success.
