About Currents

Currents is the project of Brian Lettieri, a guitarist and producer who emerged from the indie rock scene with a distinctly introspective approach. His music trades in atmospheric guitars, restrained vocals, and production that feels deliberately lo-fi without being sloppy. The project gained traction among indie listeners for its ability to sound both nostalgic and contemporary, pulling from post-punk and alternative rock lineages while maintaining something that feels genuinely his own. Tracks like 'Let It Go' showcase his knack for building tension through repetition and texture rather than bombast. 'Alone Together' became something of a focal point, demonstrating his gift for melancholic hooks that stick without feeling saccharine. What separates Currents from the pack of bedroom producers is an apparent restraint—he doesn't overcomplicate things, and there's a confidence in letting space breathe. The project has developed a dedicated following among people who actually know their guitar pedals and appreciate when someone uses delay the way it's meant to sound.

Currents shows are quiet, attentive affairs. Lettieri commands the room through restraint—there's no grandstanding. Crowds lean in rather than jump around. The guitar work is precise enough that people genuinely listen. There's something hypnotic about watching him build these things in real time.

Known for Let It Go, Alone Together, The Way It Was, Bloodhail, Overland

Currents + Providence

Currents has a measured history with Providence. They last touched down at The Strand Ballroom & Theatre back in December 2021, where they worked through a lean seven-song set that included the grinding weight of Into Despair. It's been a minute since they've been back.

Live Music in Providence

Providence has a solid track record with electronic and synth-forward acts, though the city tends to lean harder into indie rock and experimental sounds. There's an audience here that appreciates textural, atmospheric music, even if it's not the most obvious fit for a venue circuit that historically favored guitar-based bands. Currents should find receptive ears.

Providence road trip to see Currents?

Stay in College Hill, where you can actually walk around without feeling like you're in a dead zone—the neighborhood has real restaurants and bars. Eat at Chez Pascal or Oberlin for something serious. Before the show, spend an afternoon at the RISD Museum, which is legitimately excellent and free if you're a student or cheap enough if you're not. The museum's collection is small enough to actually process in a couple hours, which beats most cities. Walk down Benefit Street afterward. It's the kind of place that reminds you why people actually used to settle in New England intentionally.
