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.

Currents + Tampa

Currents touched down at The Orpheum in June 2023, delivering a 14-song set that felt like watching someone work through something heavy. They opened with "The Death We Seek" and kept that weight moving through "Into Despair" and "So Alone" — the kind of songs that demand attention in a room full of people. "Apnea" closed things out, which felt fitting given the suffocating undertone running through the whole night. The setlist suggested a band comfortable in their darker corners, pulling from deeper cuts rather than playing it safe for a hometown crowd.

Tampa road trip to see Currents?

Skip the strip and head to Hyde Park, Tampa's most livable neighborhood with tree-lined streets, independent shops, and genuine character. Stay nearby and eat at The Bricks of Hyde Park for elevated Southern cuisine in a refurbished historic building. Spend an afternoon at the Dali Museum in nearby St. Petersburg—it's legitimately world-class and a solid hour drive but worth it. Walk along Bayshore Boulevard at sunset before the show. The whole vibe is understated enough that Johnson will feel like the most exciting thing happening all weekend.
