Jason Tenner takes the stage at V Theater channeling Prince with a precision that's earned Purple Reign its reputation as the top Prince tribute act around. This isn't just a guy in a ruffled shirt lip-syncing hits—it started in small UNLV college clubs and grew into something big enough to land a spot as a musical guest on Late Show with David Letterman, a rare feat for a tribute act. The band recreates the sound and swagger of Prince during his most electric years, digging into the "Purple Rain" era catalog with live instrumentation and the kind of stage presence that made the original larger than life.
Expect the falsetto, the guitar theatrics, the purple everything, and a setlist built around the songs that turned Prince into a global icon. The show has picked up recognition from the Las Vegas Review-Journal readers and staff alike, and was tapped to open a season of AXS TV's "The World's Greatest Tribute Bands." For anyone who grew up on Prince's music or just wants to see what all the fuss was about, this is a tight, high-energy recreation of a specific and singular moment in music history.
