St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All-stars Biography

A touring experience

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.

The All-stars include*:

Jellybean Johnson - Drummer for The Time and The Family.
Dr. Fink - Keyboardist for Prince and the Revolution.
Kirk Johnson - Drummer for Prince and the NPG.

Elisa Fiorillo - Singer for Prince and the NPG.

Horn Heads - Horn section for Prince.

Oliver Leiber - Producer of Paula Abdul and guitarist with Tamara and The Seen.

Jason Peterson DeLaire - Keys and saxophone with Solo and Carmen Electra.
