A defining voice in modern groove, guitarist Mark Lettieri—of Snarky Puppy—brings a tightly honed mix of funk, jazz fusion, and R&B. With the Mark Lettieri Group, expect precise, groove-forward compositions and a band deeply attuned to feel, interplay, and momentum.

“A very bright star is emerging in the guitar world and that star is Mark Lettieri… Mark’s contributions to music are with groundbreaking, genre-bending innovative groups that are finding large audiences…” – Jazz Guitar Today

Texas-based five-time GRAMMY-winning guitarist, composer, producer, and instructor Mark Lettieri is one of modern groove music’s defining voices. Best known as a longtime member of the genre-blurring collective Snarky Puppy, as well as a founding member of The Fearless Flyers alongside Cory Wong, Lettieri has built an international reputation as a session musician fluent across a wide range of styles. He has recorded and performed in virtually every genre of popular music with artists ranging from Erykah Badu to David Crosby.

With the Mark Lettieri Group, he channels instrumental funk, jazz fusion, and R&B into tightly arranged, groove-forward compositions reminiscent of The Meters, John Scofield, and Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters era. The group’s latest album, Can I Tell You Something? (2023), released on GroundUP Music, continues a solo catalogue alongside dozens of collaborative recordings.

Guitarists, groove enthusiasts, and fusion fans alike will find plenty to engage with in this rhythmically driven set.
