Guitarist, composer and producer Mark Lettieri is a true master of his craft.
Playing in the vibrant Metroplex gospel and R&B scene led Lettieri to join the acclaimed jazz group Snarky Puppy in 2008. He contributes not just as a guitarist but also as an arranger and composer. His work with the group has resulted in three GRAMMY Awards.
Outside of Snarky Puppy, Lettieri has released three albums as a leader: Knows in 2011, Futurefun in 2013, and most recently, Spark and Echo in 2016 (Ropeadope), which climbed to #11 on Billboard’s Jazz Albums Chart, and #2 on iTunes’ Jazz Chart. His fourth full-length album, Things of that Nature, was out late last year and is easily his most progressive and melodic.
Whether he’s playing hip-hop, worship or instrumental jazz, Mark’s undeniable flair and expertise make him a must-see when he’s in town.
