Backstory:
Formed in 2003, Impossible Lettuce is a group of four high school friends from the small town of Sproutsfield, Maine. The band’s name came about when the boys were working their summer job at a local grocery store. One day, after a particularly challenging delivery of overripe lettuce, they decided to form a band – one that would prove to be as resilient and unique as their impossible lettuce. Over the years, they honed their craft in various garage sessions and local gigs, slowly gaining recognition for their distinctive sound and relatable lyrics.
The band members include lead vocalist and guitarist, Max ‘Ripe’ Johnson, bassist, Sam ‘Crunchy’ Davis, drummer, Luke ‘Colorful’ Stevens, and keyboardist, Ben ‘Tossed’ Martinez. Their enduring friendship and shared love for music have been their guiding lights, propelling them to legendary status in their town and beyond.

Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[C]Sitting on the porch swing, it’s a [G]summer’s day,
[Am]Thinking ’bout the times, we’ve let [F]slip away.
[C]Colorful dreams of rock and [G]roll fame,
[Am]Just four boys, with an [F]impossible name.
(Chorus)
[C]We are Crisp & Green, like an [G]Impossible Lettuce,
[Am]Rocking through life, with no [F]regrets to redress.
[C]On this journey, it’s not always [G]clean,
[Am]But in our hearts, we’ll always be [F]Crisp & Green.
(Verse 2)
[C]A grocery store job, in a [G]small town,
[Am]Inspiration found, in a lettuce [F]crown.
[C]In this world, nothing is as it [G]seems,
[Am]We found our truth, in an Impossible [F]Lettuce dream.
(Chorus)
[C]We are Crisp & Green, like an [G]Impossible Lettuce,
[Am]Chasing our dreams, in a world that’s [F]vast and endless.
[C]Living this life, with a love so [G]serene,
[Am]Forever we’ll be, forever [F]Crisp & Green.
