LIVE AT GUTHRIE: In late 2012, Minneapolis based Secret Stash Records released Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves from Minneapolis & Saint Paul 1964-1979. To celebrate the release of the compilation, the label and musicians teamed up to put on a soul revue at The Cedar Cultural Center in September. It was comprised completely of R&B songs from the Minneapolis scene. The sold out event was named “Best Twin Cities Concert of 2012” by City Pages.

Paula's commentaries can be heard on NPR's "Morning Edition" and read on the Huffington Post, and she is one of the most popular panelists on NPR's hilarious weekly news quiz show "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me."
