St. Paul & Minneapolis Funk All Stars Live (Saratoga)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

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 \(*some members may be substituted pending availability)
