About Boyz II Men

Boyz II Men emerged from Philadelphia in 1991 as one of the defining R&B groups of the 90s. They perfected the art of the four-part harmony, with Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman, Wanya Morris, and Marc Nelson creating some of the decade's most memorable slow jams. 'End of the Road' became a wedding reception staple, while 'Motownphilly' showed they could handle upbeat New Jack Swing grooves just as well. Their records dominated charts and won Grammys, but what really stuck was how their voices locked together—intricate, clean, and impossible to ignore. They had the rare ability to sound both contemporary and timeless, which explains why people still request their songs at life events. By the late 90s they'd become synonymous with a certain kind of polished, sophisticated R&B that valued vocal control and arrangement over everything else.

Their shows are built around the slow jams. Crowds go quiet during 'End of the Road,' singing along in unison. They move seamlessly between tight harmonies and solo moments, and people actually listen rather than just existing in the venue. Energy builds on the uptempo stuff, but it's not chaotic—there's real musicianship on display.

Known for End of the Road, Motownphilly, It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday, I'll Make Love to You, On Bended Knee

Boyz II Men + Minneapolis

Boyz II Men played the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts in Minneapolis on March 31, 2019. The Ordway is a refined performing arts venue in downtown St. Paul, and Boyz II Men's vocal precision is the kind of act that benefits from a room built for acoustics rather than volume. Minneapolis got the classier version of a Boyz II Men evening.

Live Music in Minneapolis

Minneapolis has always had a complicated relationship with R&B, more known for Prince's genre-defying experiments and the city's electronic music roots than for traditional soul acts. But that's precisely why Boyz II Men's visits matter here—they represent a lineage of East Coast and West Coast R&B that Minneapolis listeners respect from a distance, the kind of smooth, harmony-driven music that plays against the city's more experimental instincts. When they perform at venues like the Ordway, it's a reminder that the Twin Cities' musical DNA is wider than its reputation suggests.

Minneapolis road trip to see Boyz II Men?

Stay in the Northeast Minneapolis arts district—it's where the city's creative energy actually lives, with galleries, vintage shops, and the Mississippi River nearby. Eat at Café Alma in the same neighborhood for restrained, high-quality Italian cooking. Spend an afternoon at the Walker Art Center, which sits on a rise overlooking downtown and has genuine landscape appeal. Grab coffee at Spyhouse, a roaster that takes itself seriously without the performative nonsense. The Stone Arch Bridge is worth a walk if the weather cooperates.
