About Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff
Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff has been the guitarist and creative backbone of funk institution Lettuce since its 1992 inception. With Lettuce earning a Grammy nomination for their album Elevate, Shmeeans brings deep rhythmic insight, treating his guitar like percussion, to the band’s genre-blending jams. He’s renowned for using a Les Paul to deliver fat, melodic funk lines and tight syncopation around a band that fuses soul, hip-hop, jazz, and psychedelia. Touring internationally, hosting innovative projects like Lettuce symphony performances, and primed for even more creative output, Shmeeans continues to inspire with his brilliantly strange ideas and the endless pursuit of groove.
"D’addario has always been my first choice of strings since I started playing guitar. They are always the most consistent when it comes to tone, intonation, and quality."
