St. Paul & The Minneapolis
Funk Allstars

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 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 have sung on some of the biggest hits from the heyday of electro funk-rock in the Twin Cities.

​

His band includes: Dr. Fink – (Keyboards) - Original member of Prince and the Revolution, Kirk Johnson (Drummer) - Prince / NPG, Elisa Fiorillo – (Vocals )- New Power Generation, Jason Peterson DeLaire – (Sax / Keys / Vocals) - Carmen Electra / Paisley Park House band / Michael Bolton, Jellybean Johnson – (Guitar) - The Time and The Family.
