Celebrating their 20th anniversary as modern day rulers of old
school funk, the seven-piece Brooklyn-based juggernaut Lettuce dropped their
third studio album Fly—a decidedly raging slab of relentless groove,
hyper-charged syncopation and psychedelicized soul anthems. Having blown up
stages from coast to coast last year, ranging from The Fillmore in SF to
Terminal 5 in NYC, Bear Creek Music Festival to Camp Bisco and all points
in-between, Lettuce entered Brooklyn recording studio The Bunker last winter
with a fresh batch of road-tested material and a revitalized sound honed razor
sharp by a year spent on the road.
“We’re more together and set to crush than ever before,” says
drummer and chief songwriter Adam Deitch of the all-star group that he and his
accomplished band-mates cut their teeth with back in their Berklee School of
Music days. That much history, along with the A-list crop of projects that each
member has taken on away from Lettuce, gives the group a bottomless well of
musical ideas and unrivaled chemistry—in fact, referring to themselves as a band
of brothers. “I was in a practice room at 16 with Kraz, Zoidis, Shmeeans and
Deitch and it all clicked,” says “lead” bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes. “We all
felt rhythms in similar ways. We were all about the pocket from day
one.”
Kyle Hollingsworth has established himself as a formidable and
versatile music talent, with the ability to contribute, collaborate, compose,
and communicate on a number of levels and within a vast spectrum of musical
environments. Today, as a member of acclaimed jam masters The String Cheese
Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to
write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to
bebop. Playing in SCI has allowed him unrestricted access to the world of music,
and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness a composer needs to flirt with
such disparate genres.
His latest release, titled The There’s Now, finds the
musician coming in to his own. With solid song material and a slamming new band,
Kyle is making his mark in the new, always-evolving music scene. Then There’s
Now delivers a blend of vocal and instrumental tunes and seamlessly displays
his growth as a musician and as a songwriter.
