Lake Michigan College Mendel Center

JENKINS THEATRE

Let’s go crazy and party like it’s 1999 when The Purple xPeRIeNCE featuring Marshall Charloff comes to the Mendel Center Jenkins Theatre. This five-piece group hailing from Prince’s birthplace, Minneapolis, is the most authentic and awe-inspiring celebration of Prince in the world – performing your favorite Prince hits with unmatched musicianship – played LIVE, not tracked!

The Purple xPeRIeNCE has been touring the country since the band was co-founded by Marshall and Matt “Doctor” Fink (keyboardist from Prince & The Revolution) in 2011. In 2019, they were officially licensed by the Prince estate and GMR, Prince’s publishing company, to perform the music of Prince.

The Purple xPeRIeNCE has entertained more than half a million fans to date with mega hits from the Prince catalog including “Purple Rain,” “Let’s Go Crazy,” “Kiss,” “1999,” and so much more!

“Blown away by their performance and their legitimacy.” ~ Chicago Tribune

“Unmistakably the most authentic act of its kind, The Purple xPeRIeNCE is the number one tribute to Prince in the world.” ~ WSKG, New York

“The resemblance between Charloff and Prince is striking. Both in looks and musical prowess. The high notes. The guitar chops. The moves. It’s all there in full supply. And the band, made up of accomplished musicians as well, rounded out the experience seamlessly.” ~ Alternative Revolt

“The Purple xPeRIeNCE brings the spirit of the Minneapolis pop star…” ~ Newsday
