About St. Paul And The Minneapolis Funk All Stars
Shining the spotlight on Twin Cities musicians who wrote, produced, or performed on the biggest hits of the era – from Funkytown to Little Red Corvette – the Minneapolis Funk All Stars are the architects of an electro funk-rock that brought together people of all colors and backgrounds.
Paul aka “St. Paul” Peterson is the youngest member of The Peterson Family. Prince discovered St. Paul at the age of 17. He enlisted him as a keyboard player in The Time for the movie “Purple Rain.” Paul took the lead vocalist spot in the Prince produced group The Family before becoming a solo artist and scoring hits for MCA and Atlantic Records. Peterson has contributed to records amassing more than 20 million sold.
Paul spent the summer of 2016 on tour with classic rocker Peter Frampton. He has also played and/or recorded with Steve Miller, Stevie Wonder, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs, and many others.
