St. Paul and The Minneapolis Funk Allstars Tickets

St. Paul and The Minneapolis Funk Allstars bring the electric energy of the Minneapolis Sound to stages across the country. With a core lineup that reads like a who’s who of late-’70s and ’80s Minneapolis music—St. Paul Peterson, Jellybean Johnson, Dr. Fink, Jerome Benton, Elisa Fiorillo, and more—the band channels the groove-heavy traditions rooted in The Time, The Family, and Prince-affiliated projects. While lineups rotate, the mission remains steady: keep the funk honest, tight, and irresistibly danceable.

Known for their high-energy live performances, the Allstars perform songs that celebrate a hometown sound that changed pop and R&B. Dr. Fink, a three-time Grammy and three-time American Music Award winner for his work with Prince and Revolution, anchors a band that honors legacy while pushing the groove forward. The project also features stalwarts and collaborators from across the Minneapolis scene, including Elisa Fiorillo and Oliver Leiber, with rotating musicians who bring fresh textures to each show.

As a Minneapolis Sound revival act, the Allstars connect fans with the city’s rich musical history and its modern iterations. They’ve built a dedicated following by delivering tight horn arrangements, funk-forward rhythms, and punchy vocal harmonies that evoke late-night clubs and sunlit stages alike.
