Funk Night Records evolved out of a monthly event at the Contemporary Art Institute of Detroit labeled "Funk Night" co-founded by Scott Craig and Brad Hales.[1] The event featured obscure funk, soul, and R&B vinyl 45s. After Craig left, Hales continued the events with Frank Raines, who would eventually become CEO of the Funk Night record label.[2]
Although Funk Night Records includes many Detroit-based artists such as Will Sessions,[3][4][5] the label has grown to include a roster of artists throughout the US and and world, such as The San Francisco Bay Area soul organ combo, The M-Tet[6] and The Soul Surfers out of Russia.[7] Funk Night's recording artist Rickey Calloway has also recorded with The Dap Kings of Daptone Records and The Newmastersounds.[8]
