Erick “Jesus” Coomes Archives

Lettuce has a few festival dates for the summer left to go, but they’re keeping the party going through the year. The band, anchored by bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes, has announced new fall dates.

Lettuce has expanded its current tour with a set of dates in March. The band, which is currently in the Pacific Northwest, will add Midwest and Eastern performances to the schedule.

Today, we’re launching a new series. “Five Bass Lines You Should Know” will feature bassists from all genres giving their opinion on the most essential tracks, plus one of their own. We’re kicking this off with Erick "Jesus" Coomes.

Lettuce has announced a 41-date trek they’ve dubbed the “Bring Back the Love Tour”. The shows will span from July 2nd through December 12th with the funk band traversing the United States.

Live for Live Music is presenting a one-day virtual music festival on Saturday, May 30th. The line-up includes some terrific bassists, including George Porter Jr., Mononeon, Erick "Jesus" Coomes, Tony Hall, Nick Daniels III, and Pete Shand.

Lettuce has just released “Resonate”, which follows up on last year’s “Elevate”. Both albums were born out of the same fruitful recording sessions, though bassist Erick “Jesus” Coomes says they have different vibes.

Lettuce is dropping its new album, “Resonate”, on May 8th, and we caught up with Erick “Jesus” Coomes a couple of weeks into the COVID-19 pandemic. He gave us the scoop on dealing with the quarantine, the album, and what it was like working with Dr. Dre.

Five months after releasing the successful “Oxnard,” Anderson .Paak has come back with another California city-based album called “Ventura.” Just like its predecessor, the album is full of amazing guests and fat bass lines.
