PAISLEY PARK TALENT
Featuring St. Paul and the Minneapolis Funk Allstars
St. Paul and 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.
The show features hits from PRINCE, NPG, The Time, The Family, and more, all performed by members of the original bands.
