Jam Cruise has shared a pro-shot video of Lettuce performing big on the Norwegian Pearl from earlier this year. Regular suspects on “the boat,” the New York funk lords played two sets over the course of four nights during the 2017 event. For their first performance, the funk powerhouse charged through the Stardust Theater with another spectacular set. When Adam Deitch (drums), Jesus Coomes (bass), Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff (guitar), Neal Evans (keys), Nigel Hall (keys, vocals) and The Shady Horns’ saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom are on the same stage, great, firing things happen – such as been the case for the last 25 years!
See below for their performance of “Blaze,” a song expected to be on the band’s upcoming record. Featuring some especially psychedelic playing from Zoidis, “Blaze” just might be the new funk anthem of the future. Shortly after this video was shared, drummer Adam Deitch wrote on Facebook that the song would appear on the band’s upcoming album. Check it out below:
Don’t miss Lettuce at their inaugural Funk of Ages this summer, along with a summer full of festivals including North Coast Music Fest!
