St. Paul & the Minneapolis Funk All Stars
The St. Paul in this instance is Paul Peterson, a latter-day member of The Time and leader of follow-up band The Family. Similarly drawn from the Prince universe are the Minneapolis Funk All Stars, including NPG drummer Kirk Johnson and guitarist Homer O’Dell, and longtime Revolution keyboard player Matt Fink (aka Dr. Fink). Let’s go crazy, Madison.
$40 ($35 adv.).
media release: 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 sung on some of the biggest hits from the heyday of electro funk-rock in the Twin Cities.
Their incredible show: “THE MINNEAPOLIS SOUNDS” is now a National Tour.
