St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All Stars Bring the music of Prince to KC on October 31st
Celebrate Halloween with the Minneapolis Sound—and a Prize for the Best Prince-Inspired Costume
KANSAS CITY, MO — October 22, 2026 — Get ready for a frightfully funky Halloween! St. Paul & The Minneapolis Funk All Stars bring their electrifying Minneapolis Sound to Knuckleheads on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at 8:00 p.m. This ’80s Halloween Costume Party promises unforgettable music, irresistible grooves, and a chance to show off your best Prince-inspired look.
The powerhouse lineup features a group of Prince Alum, including St. Paul Peterson (The Family, The Time), Dr. Fink (The Revolution), Jason Peterson DeLaire (Paisley Park House Band), Joey Finger (Batman soundtrack), and Homer O’Dell (Mint Condition). Fans can expect dance-floor anthems, soulful vocals, and explosive jams celebrating the music of Prince, The Time, The Family, and more.
Bassist, vocalist, and bandleader St. Paul Peterson appeared in the landmark film Purple Rain as a teenage keyboard player with The Time, performing on favorites such as “Jungle Love” and “The Bird.” Prince later handpicked him to become the lead singer of The Family, the Paisley Park Records group that first recorded “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
In the tradition of Motown’s Funk Brothers, Peterson has assembled a dynamic group of musicians whose talents and musical histories connect audiences to the Minneapolis Sound. Their shared history and onstage chemistry make each performance both a musical reunion and a celebration of an enduring musical legacy.
“Every time we step on stage together, it feels like a reunion of old friends making music that still connects across generations. The Minneapolis Sound is more than just music, it’s a movement, and we’re honored to keep that spirit alive,” says St. Paul Peterson.
Come dressed for the occasion! A prize will be awarded for the best Prince-inspired costume. Bring your friends, channel your favorite ’80s look, and spend Halloween keeping the funk alive.
