Artist Biography
Available in:
The Menahan Street Band is a Brooklyn, New York-based instrumental band formed in 2007, that plays funk and soul music. The band features musicians from Antibalas, El Michels Affair, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings and the Budos Band. The group was founded by Thomas Brenneck while living in an apartment on Menahan St. in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bushwick. Their debut album, Make the Road by Walking, was released in 2008 on Dunham, a sublabel of Daptone Records.

After Jay Z sampled the album's title track for his hit single "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is…)", the band invested their royalty money from the song in building a studio. Brenneck launched the all-analog Dunham Sound Studios, and the band worked there for many months on the completion of their 2012 sophomore album The Crossing.
