Lettuce brought their patented brand of funky good times out to the House of Blues in Boston, MA last Friday, January 22nd, playing what would ultimately become the last day of their Northeast winter tour (the final date at The Capitol Theatre was postponed). The band has been on a roll ever since their 2015 album Crush was released, having complemented the release with a brand new, making-of documentary and some fiery performances closing out 2015 and into early 2016.

The band was in fine form in Boston, welcoming guitarist Jeff Lockhart for a majority of the first set. He also joined in for the encore, a performance of the band’s Crush track “Silverdome,” with Nigel Hall singing lead vocals as well. Dig it below:
