Lettuce, whose latest album Elevate is nominated for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the GRAMMY® Awards later this month, have revealed the details for RAGE!FEST 2020, the acclaimed band’s annual Jazz Fest After Show in New Orleans. The 5th annual event will take place Saturday, April 25th at the Orpheum Theater and feature support from The Motet and Louis Cole Big Band. Tickets are available HERE.
Lettuce shares, “We couldn’t be more excited for our 5th annual Rage!Fest this year in New Orleans during Jazz Fest! We have our good friends The Motet with us. We will also have the Louis Cole Big Band, which should be really, really awesome, if you are not familiar. There is always something special about Jazz Fest…and we never know which of our musical friends might spontaneously join us.”
Lettuce – drummer and percussionist Adam Deitch, guitarist Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff, bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes, keyboardist and vocalist Nigel Hall, saxophonist Ryan Zoidis and trumpet player Eric “Benny” Bloom – are currently touring in support of their Grammy-nominated sixth studio album Elevate, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Album Chart and #1 on the iTunes R&B Albums Chart. The esteemed honor marks the sextet’s first as a collective in their nearly three decades together. Elevate, available via their own Lettuce Records, has been streamed over 2 million times and features the singles “Krewe” and “Everybody Wants To Rule the World,” their jazzy take on the Tears For Fears hit featuring the band’s keyboardist Nigel Hall on vocals.
