Welcome

I’m St. Paul Peterson: singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and lifelong Minneapolis musician.

From Prince, The Time, and The Family/fDeluxe to the Steve Miller Band, Peter Frampton, FunkFriday, Classic American Rockers, The Guitar All Stars, the Minneapolis Funk All Stars, and music ministry at St. Patrick’s in Edina, it’s all connected by one thing: music.

Music is the one thing that unites us.

Check out the new single from the Minneapolis Funk All Stars, catch me live at an upcoming show, or take a look around.
