St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All Stars

One of the best musicians to emerge from the Twin Cities, St. Paul appeared in Purple Rain as a teenage wunderkind, playing keys with The Time on hits like “Jungle Love” and “The Bird.” He was hand-picked by Prince himself to be the lead singer of The Family (best known for “Nothing Compares 2 U”) on Prince’s Paisley Park label.

In the tradition of Motown’s Funk Brothers, St. Paul has assembled the who’s who crew of the Minneapolis Sound with St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All-stars, showcasing those who wrote, produced, performed, or sung on some of the biggest hits from the heyday of electro funk-rock in the Twin Cities. Perfect for fans of Prince, Mingo Fishtrap, Morris Day, and Eric Gales.

The All-stars include:

St. Paul Peterson – The Time, The Family
Dr. Fink - Keyboardist for Prince and the Revolution.
Kirk Jonson – Drummer for Prince and the NPG
Elisa Fiorillo - Singer for Prince and the NPG
Oliver Leiber - Producer of Paula Abdul and guitarist with Tamara and The Scene
Jason Peterson DeLaire - Keys and saxophone for Carmen Electra
