Lettuce with the Grand Rapids Symphony
In 1992, four high school friends attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., and decided to create a funk band they later named Lettuce; it would be 10 years before the band released a studio album, partially due to a hiatus it took so the members could all continue pursuing their education. Since its debut album,
Outta Here
, was released, it has released a total of seven studio albums and two live albums. It has had two albums chart; its 2012 album
Fly!
made it to No. 6 on the US Jazz charts and No. 20 on the US Top Heatseekers chart, while its 2015 album
Crush
made it to No. 1 on the US Jazz charts and No. 5 on the US Top Heatseekers chart. Lettuce has come to define the modern funk movement and puts on a concert that will let you feel lifted away to another decade and simpler times.
Lettuce is pushing three decades of creating funk music, and the band members are only getting better with age. The members have come a long way from their beginnings as teens who often had to beg to borrow equipment and pushed their way into doing shows at house parties. They may have blown up a borrowed bass amp or two in the process. The youthful persistence of the band had paid off as it gained word-of-mouth recognition in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco and Tokyo before the rest of the world finally caught up with how amazing it is. With its 2019 release, called
Elevate
, the band wants to elevate listeners to a better place as they listen to the beats and rhythms of the record.

Lettuce's past members include Jeff Bhasker, Rashawn Ross, Sam Kininger, Neal Evans and Eric Krasno.
When Lettuce was first starting out, the band would go around to jazz clubs and other possible spots to possibly gig and ask them to Let us play. The band said, Let us play so much, it made its name Lettuce.
