“upbeat and funky… sounds like Prince himself is playing” – Pioneer Press
St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All Stars bring together legendary performers, songwriters, producers, and touring musicians. These artists’ contributions helped put Minneapolis on the global music map.
Their collective careers span some of the most celebrated recordings and live performances in Minneapolis music history. They have connections to Prince & The Revolution, The Time, The Family, the New Power Generation, Mint Condition, Paula Abdul, and more.
Rather than recreating an era, they bring the musicians who lived it back on stage together.
St. Paul Peterson: vocalist, bassist, songwriter, and member of The Time and The Family
Dr. Fink: original keyboardist for Prince & The Revolution
Elisa Fiorillo: vocalist with Prince and the New Power Generation

For this special hometown performance at the Dakota, these remarkable musicians honor Prince. They celebrate the creative spirit that made Minneapolis a global force in music. This ensemble delivers deep grooves, extraordinary musical chemistry, and a masterclass in musicianship.
