SUMMARY:Lettuce at Scala - Tuesday 20th September 2022 - 7:00 pm until 10:3
 0 pm 
DESCRIPTION:“Dealing with the pandemic\, being in separate places\, tryin
 g to survive without our best friends\, without touring\, not to mention t
 he political divide in this country\,” says Lettuce drummer Adam Deitch.
   “We really needed to unify.”\n\nSo\, here it is\, right on time.  
 Unify.  The eighth studio album from Lettuce\, it’s also a third consec
 utive record made at Denver’s Colorado Sound Studios\, completing a loos
 e trilogy starting with 2019’s Grammy-nominated Elevate\, and continuing
  with 2020’s Resonate.\n\nIt’s\, as well\, a benchmark moment for the 
 sextet: Adam Deitch (drums)\, Ryan Zoidis (saxophone)\, Adam Smirnoff (gui
 tar)\, Erick Coomes (bass)\, Nigel Hall (keyboards/vocals)\, Eric ‘Benny
 ’ Bloom (trumpet).  Approaching thirty years since its humble Boston be
 ginnings\, the relentlessly soulful funk outfit has essentially lived on t
 he road\, embodying\, night after night\, the sly wink of its moniker: Let
  us play!  And now\, endorsed on Unify by none other than the legendary i
 con of funk\, Bootsy Collins\, singing and playing bass on “Keep That Fu
 nk Alive”.\n\n“We dreamed this up when we were teenagers\, and here we
  are.  We’re doing it\,” says Zoidis.\n\nThe roots of Unify took hold
  several years back\, when Lettuce assembled at Colorado Sound to begin wo
 rk on Elevate.   Armed with dozens of songs\, the band tracked enough ma
 terial for that record\, its successor\, and then some (including a vinyl-
 only\, 45-minute\, live-in-the-studio\, one-take improvisation\, Vibe).  
 A pandemic-abbreviated European tour schedule in 2021 further inspired\, a
 s the group traded ideas for more new material.
