A couple of weeks ago I posted something about Lee Fields being the coolest man alive, after I saw him advertising a Dutch magazine via Vimeo. Well, if you read my blog you’ll know that I’m a big fan of Lee Fields and this post is related. When Molly and I went to see Lee Fields at the Worldwide Awards, hosted by Giles Peterson the Menahan Street Band supported him and also played along with his tracks. In total they must have been on stage well over an hour and they were fantastic. So here are a few more details about the band and also a track from their album, ‘Make The Road While Walking

“The Menahan Street Band is a collaboration of ten musicians from Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings (Dave Guy, Homer Steinweiss, Fernando Velez, Bosco Mann), El Michels Affair (Leon Michels, Toby Pazner), Antibalas (Nick Movshon, Aaron Johnson) and The Budos Band (Mike Deller, Daniel Fodder), brought together by musician/producer Thomas Brenneck (Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Budos Band, Amy Winehouse).”
