The legendary funk sextet Lettuce has been teasing the forthcoming release of their latest full-length offering, Cook, due December 3, 2025, via the band’s own Lettuce Records. With the lead single “Gold Tooth,” and most recently their cover of the Keni Burke classic “Rising to the Top” and “Breathe,” a blissed-out track tinged with a retro hip-hop vibe to match,  the band’s signature blend of all-organic, additive-free funk is on full display. Today, they’re excited to announce that they’ll be performing on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles, CA, at The Bellwether. Pre-sales begin tomorrow, Wednesday, October 1, and tickets can be purchased here.

 

*Please let us know if you’d like to attend or cover the performance in some way.*

*Lettuce is available for promo opportunities to advance the show.*

Cook isn’t just a nod to Lettuce’s musical heat; it’s an invitation to join the band at the table, where funk, soul, jazz, rock, and hip-hop come together in one rich, flavorful dish. The album offers a menu of delights that marks a group exploring new sonic territory. On Cook, Lettuce has expanded its ever-widening musical palette again, following tours with both rap icon GZA of the Wu-Tang Clan and reggae legend Ziggy Marley. Earlier in the year, the band released the live album and concert film Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony. Still, there’s a generous dose of Lettuce’s patented funk, paying tribute to the great James Brown and his JB’s and honoring mentors like Tower of Power and Maceo Parker. For these six lifelong partners, the new songs feel like a nourishing meal that entices all of your senses.

 

This record is a little more three-dimensional than our past albums,” says Deitch. “It shows a lot more sides to the band, exploring further depths of production and arrangements.”
