About the band:
Marshall Charloff & the Purple xPeRIeNCE is the most celebrated tribute to Prince in the world. The group was co-founded by Marshall Charloff and Matt “Doctor” Fink (keyboardist from Prince & The Revolution) in 2011, an era where Prince closely monitored the use of his art. Their vision was to deliver Prince’s music at the highest level, played live and untracked by skilled musicians, while paying respectful visual homage through costuming and likeness.
Like Prince, Minneapolis-native Marshall, was discovered at 19 years old and signed by producer Pepe Willie. Marshall is actually featured on 94 East albums with Prince, where he plays guitar and Prince is on vocals. A multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer in his own right, Marshall has written for, produced, and recorded for the multi-Platinum and Grammy award-winning Commodores and for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Little Anthony & The Imperials
Marshall Charloff’s outstanding all-star band, the Purple Xperience, hosts a number of world-class players, including Tracey Blake on lead guitar, Ron Long on bass guitar, Ron Caron on drums, and Cory Eischen on keys.
