The 43 Benefit w/ Menahan Street Band, Lady Wray & Special Guests!

The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of musicians from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, El Michels Affair, Antibalas and the Budos Band, brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Amy Winehouse) to record hits in the bedroom of his Menahan St. apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. With influences reaching beyond the funk/soul/afrobeat architecture of their other projects into the more ethereal realms of Curtis Mayfield and Mulatu Astatke, the Menahan Street Band creates a unique new instrumental soul sound that is as raw as it is lush.


The band is also known for their production and recording efforts with the likes of Paul McCartney, Alicia Keys, Mark Ronson, and Cee-Lo as well as artists like 50 Cent, Kid Cudi, Jay Z who have sampled songs from their last album, "Make The Road By Walking".


Soul Summit couldn't be more excited to welcome them to their party celebrating the release of their newest offering, "The Crossing". The band describes this new album as "music to an unreleased Sergio Leone western starring the Wu Tang Clan set in 1992". How can it not be great? Let's party!
