ST. LOUIS PARK MUSICIANS
From the Re-Echo, December 2007

By the way, St. Louis Park has produced its fair share of musicians through the years. Perhaps the biggest “rock star” is Bobby Rivkin, aka Bobby Z, who served as Prince’s drummer from 1978-1987. Brother David played in three major bands in the 1960s, and is now a songwriter, session musician, record promoter, producer and engineer. Other musicians and groups include Sussman Lawrence with Peter Himmelman, Dan Israel, and of course the High Spirits, who are in the Minnesota Rock/Country Hall of Fame. There’s also Sharon Isbin, a world-renowned classical guitarist. And now we have another connection to rock as “Blood on the Tracks” musician Kevin Odegard now lives here. St. Louis Park's the Judd Group was inducted into the Mid-America Music Hall of Fame in 2008.  Learn more on our web site at www.slphistory.org/history/tcmusic.asp
