Minneapolis Funk All Stars Release Debut Original Single
“Gotta Keep The Funk Alive”
Led by St. Paul Peterson — honoring the past while creating the future of the Minneapolis Sound
MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Minneapolis Funk All Stars proudly announce the release of their debut original single, “Gotta Keep The Funk Alive,” available on all streaming platforms June 5, 2026, via Hygge House MPLS.
Written by Jason Peterson DeLaire and Tre Balfour, longtime collaborators and bandmates, and produced by legendary Minneapolis Sound architect St. Paul Peterson, the single is both a celebration and continuation of one of music’s most influential eras. Rooted in the spirit of funk pioneers like James Brown, Parliament-Funkadelic, Roger Troutman &amp; Zapp, and the unmistakable Minneapolis Sound movement, “Gotta Keep The Funk Alive” delivers a modern anthem infused with legacy, groove, and authenticity.
The release marks a major milestone for the Minneapolis Funk All Stars, a collective of celebrated musicians who have all played, recorded, or toured with Prince and helped shape the sound that defined an era.
Led by St. Paul Peterson — former member of The Time, lead singer of The Family, and vocalist on timeless recordings including “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “The Screams of Passion” — the group brings together decades of musical chemistry and world-class musicianship.
“This isn’t about nostalgia,” says Peterson. “It’s about carrying the spirit of funk forward. We honor where this music came from while creating something new that still feels alive, soulful, and real.”
The Minneapolis Funk All Stars lineup includes:
St. Paul Peterson — Lead Vocals &amp; Bass
Jason Peterson DeLaire — Background Vocals &amp; Saxophone
Elisa Fiorillo — Co-Lead Vocals
Oliver Leiber — Guitar
Dr. Fink — Keyboards
Kirk Johnson — Drums
Honorary Member Jerome Benton — Vocals
The single was mixed by renowned producer and engineer John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Backstreet Boys) and recorded by the Minneapolis Funk All Stars.
“Gotta Keep The Funk Alive” represents more than a song — it’s a mission statement. A bridge between generations. A reminder that the Minneapolis Sound continues to evolve through the very artists who helped build its foundation.
The band will celebrate the release with a special live performance on June 7, 2026 at Vibrato Grill Jazz in Los Angeles, honoring Prince’s birthday while debuting new original music alongside iconic Minneapolis Sound classics.

With America on the brink of turning 250 years old...it is more important than ever to remember "Freedom is NOT Free."
One very special music legend has made it his life&rsquo;s mission to be sure we NEVER forget the price our Veterans paid for our freedom.
Tony Orlando is a living legend. 
Yes, the word &ldquo;legend&rdquo; gets overused, but not in Tony&rsquo;s case.
Tony Orlando is a one-in-a-billion, multi-disciplined, genre-defying mega talent, who has racked up millions of record sales as the front man for Tony Orlando and Dawn (aka Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson), starred in his own television variety show, performed as a Broadway and television actor, and simultaneously took the business world by storm at CBS Records, tapping into his vast knowledge, intellectual brilliance, and professional savvy, as a record company executive...behind the stage curtain...all while taking center stage in front of the curtain...at the same time.
His unprecedented dual career offered him the best of both worlds...however...God had already planned an even higher calling for Tony Orlando...as an outspoken ambassador, advocate, best friend and supporter of our United States Veterans and Military families. 
Tony Orlando&rsquo;s unwavering love, respect, generosity, support, philanthropy and dedication toward our Veterans and Military has solidified his place in a league of his own.
When Tony Orlando&rsquo;s 1970s era hit, &ldquo;Tie A Yellow Ribbon &lsquo;Round the Ole Oak Tree&rdquo; became an unexpected anthem for those awaiting the return of loved ones from the Viet Nam War...he realized the Lord had given him a greater calling...to minister to the needs of the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our great nation.
Tony Orlando heeded the Lord&rsquo;s call and devoted his life, not only to entertaining our men and women in uniform with songs...but talking the talk, and walking the walk, right alongside them...providing his shoulder to cry upon and donating his time, talents and treasures, to assisting Veterans and Military families in crisis, advocating for their service related injuries, helping disabled Veterans, and supporting the ongoing needs of these selfless individuals and their families. 
Tony Orlando loves like Jesus, giving all he can, and living every moment of his life to serve those who risk everything putting their lives on the line to serve others. Tony Orlando has made our world a better place, and continues to make a difference, walking in the footsteps of our Lord, blessing our Veterans and Military families with the generosity, kindness and unconditional love they so richly deserve. 
As a performer, he has graced us with a jukebox overflowing with unforgettable hits such as &ldquo;Knock Three Times&rdquo;, &ldquo;Candida&rdquo;, "He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)", a cover of the Jerry Butler hit, "He Will Break Your Heart", which &ldquo;The Iceman&rdquo; himself actually enjoyed, &ldquo;Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose?&rdquo; and so many more. You can still hear him every Saturday night on New York City&rsquo;s legendary powerhouse station, WABC, both online and over terrestrial radio! 
&ldquo;For decades, Tony Orlando has entertained millions with hit records, television, live performances, and an unforgettable personality. Now he joins me LIVE on Jam'n Java for an evening of stories, memories, music, and conversation. We&rsquo;ll talk about his hit records, television memories, behind-the-scenes music business stories, touring adventures and much more.&rdquo;, said Jam&rsquo; n Java host and #1 Hypeddit Recording Artist, Robby Robinson. &ldquo;And don't be surprised if we wander into a few stories about some of the legendary artists and unforgettable moments that helped shape an incredible era of American music. These are the voices and stories that helped create the soundtrack of our lives. Monday night, we'll spend an evening with one of the great storytellers of American popular music - Tony Orlando. Hope you'll join us!&rdquo;
