Jason Tenner takes the stage at V Theater channeling Prince with a level of detail that's earned Purple Reign its reputation as the top Prince tribute act around. The show digs into the catalog that made "The Artist" a household name, recreating the falsetto, the guitar work, and that unmistakable swagger with a full band backing every note. There's history behind this one too—Purple Reign holds the distinction of being the first tribute act to appear as a musical guest on Late Show with David Letterman, and the group has picked up recognition from the Las Vegas Review-Journal as well as a slot opening AXS TV's The World's Greatest Tribute Bands.
The appeal here goes beyond simple mimicry. Fans of "Purple Rain" and anyone who grew up on Prince's run of hits will find the show leans into recreating the raw energy of his live performances—the kind of sweat-soaked, funk-driven intensity that made him one of the most electrifying performers of his era. Expect the purple lighting, the ruffled shirts, the guitar theatrics, and a setlist built around the songs that defined a sound all his own.
