CD: Can I Tell You Something?

Unlike many guitarists on today's crowded stages, Mark Lettieri views his fretboard as a runway. Before he takes off, he makes sure every calibration, adjustment and screw is as it should be before he grabs a piece of sky. With Dragonfly, the riff-heavy opener of his latest album - Can I Tell You Something? - he makes good on this promise of flight. With Jason "JT" Thomas (drums), Daniel Porter (keys), Wes Stephenson (bass) and Bobby Sparks (organ) in the control tower, he has a dream team that lets him take off from the ground without the slightest worry of a malfunction. From the moment his landing gear leaves the runway, he soars with complete confidence.
