Lettuce - 1884 Lounge Recap

Although the venue made the decision to move the Lettuce show from the main room in Minglewood Hall to the more compact 1884 Lounge, the setting could not have been more perfect. The close proximity created a wild energy like none other, making for an incredibly funky Friday night in Memphis! Along with my photographer, Ellis Jones, I could not stop groovin' as the band tore up the stage. Following the show, we headed to Young Avenue Deli for an after party with Nashville funk quartet Backup Planet, and they absolutely tore it up! All in all, it was a wonderful night. Check out my review of the Lettuce show here on Live Music Daily, and be sure to check out the video I took of the first song of the encore below.

TONIGHT: Lettuce At Minglewood Hall + After Party

Tonight begins an absolutely incredible weekend of live music in Memphis, Tennessee. First, at Minglewood Hall, the funk jamband giant Lettuce will be throwing a Friday night rager, with Late Night Radio opening things up. Following the show, Whitney Production Company will be throwing an after party at Young Avenue Deli with Nashville's funk outlet Backup Planet providing the tunage til bar close. All of these acts are must-see and should account for one of the best nights of music in Memphis for the year.

Saturday and Sunday we have Widespread Panic rockin' the Orpheum Theatre, and Backup Planet will be throwing another after party on Saturday at The Brass Door.

See you guys out there, and happy ragin'!
