History[edit]
John Paris and Eddie Mininfield first began collaborating musically at the age of 15, performing together in several Top 40 bands in the Bay Area, including All As One and Mixed Company. Their early performances at clubs throughout California and Japan helped establish their musical careers.[1]
Both musicians later transitioned into successful careers as touring and session musicians. Eddie Mininfield has recorded and performed with artists such as Verdine White, Prince & the Revolution, Sheila E., Beyoncé, Paula Abdul, Stevie Nicks, among others.[2] [3] John Paris, in addition to his work with B2B, is the drummer for the legendary band Earth, Wind & Fire.[4] and has also performed and recorded with Bob Dylan, Whitney Houston, Patti LeBelle, Natalie Cole, Donna Summer, Meghan Trainor, Kelly Clarkson and others.
