Drawn together at the altar of funky soul, Eric Krasno, Sam Kininger, Adam Deitch, Erick Coomes, Jeff Bhasker, and Ryan Zoidis began taking over local clubs and jam nights on borrowed sound equipment. Brash and precocious, the guys always got what they needed: “Let us borrow your gear.” “Let us play one more tune.” “Let us crash on your couch.” Thus Lettuce (“Let us…”) was born, and the funky gospel found another apostle.

    saw these guys at electric forest and they rocked. You can't listen to them and not move and be happy. One of the most chill and rockin' gigs i've ever seen. Great, tight band. Highly advise seeing them when possible
