If you missed your chance to see the premiere of the Lettuce documentary in NYC last month, you may be in luck! Jam Cruise will be screening Let Us Play, the 37-minute feature that follows the band on the road and in the studio over a 6-month period. The film screening will be followed by a Q & A with the band, director Jay Sansone of Human Being Media and executive producer Kunj Shah of Live for Live Music.
22 Musicians Tell Us Their Favorite Things About Jam Cruise
Framed by the band’s studio sessions for the new album Crush, the film incorporates live footage, in-depth interviews, and candid moments and stories. Snippets of life on the road with Lettuce give the viewer an up close and personal view of the band, exhibiting their various complex personalities and the way they all come together to form the dynamic force that is Lettuce. A 5 AM voicemail from Jesus Coomes to Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff, impromptu song and dance routines from Eric “Benny” Bloom, and even the band’s explanation of their own name make for an intimate display.
Jam Cruise will set sail January 6-11 from Miami to Cozumel and Belize featuring performances from Dr. John, Trombone Shorty, Galactic, Lettuce, and so many more. Cabins are now sold out, but you can get on the wait list here. Prior to that, Lettuce will be kicking off the New Year in Chicago and NYC.
