| WHO: | Elf Lettuce Elf Lettuce is a hard-touring band whose music is as true to its early rock and blues roots as the band members are to their roots in the Midwest. Upon moving to Madison in 2006, the group quickly garnered the respect of their musical peers. This respect was perhaps most evident when Clyde Stubblefield, the original “funky” drummer for James Brown (and a myriad of other legendary artists), took notice of the group. The band now enjoys tenure as Clyde’s supporting act every Monday in addition to maintaining an average of 12-14 scheduled performances per month. Since their first show in 2004, Elf Lettuce has quickly established itself as a live music staple of the Upper Midwest. Fans that’ve experienced their concerts at the Feel Good Festival, Steel Bridge Songfest, Madison Harvest Festivals, The Copper Fountain Festival, and several other major Midwestern events will agree that the group’s sound is constantly evolving and the energy in their live shows is sonically contagious. Since the release of their eponymous debut EP in 2006, the band has distributed over 1,000 copies independently, and will commence work on their first full-length album in the winter of 2009. Elf Lettuce plays a wide variety of music. In their improvisationally-friendly performances, their rapidly growing fan base can detect a strong roots-rock and blues presence with overtones of bluegrass, country, folk, jazz, and funk-laden melodies. Guitarist Jacob Lison’s virtuosic playing can recall “slow hand” style picking, and in a split second, it can boil over into a tempest of fiery psychedelia. Bassist Eli Reichenberger and drummer Joe Murray weave a tapestry of inter-locking rhythm that set the perfect tone for second guitarist Alex White’s country-blues style. With a strong Midwestern work ethic and a persistent, positive attitude toward the road, it’s no surprise that Elf Lettuce is expanding it sights beyond its well-established touring radius in the Midwest. Expect to see the band performing at more festivals and venues in the Rocky Mountain and West Coast regions in the near future. After sharing the stage with amazing artists like Clyde Stubblefield, Greg Brown, Dr. Didg, Down Lo, Reverend Eddie Danger, and many others, the band members continue to diversify their musical styles through the influence of the amazing talent they’re privileged to work with. It’s a sure-fire formula for keeping their original sound evolving for their avidly dedicated fan base. Elf Lettuce Website | |
