ABOUT THE PRODUCTION:
Marshall Charloff & Purple xPeRIeNCE is the most celebrated tribute to Prince in the world. The group was co-founded by Marshall and Matt “Doctor” Fink (keyboardist from Prince & The Revolution) in 2011. Their vision was to deliver Prince’s music on the highest level, played live and untracked by skilled musicians, while paying respectful visual homage through costuming and likeness.

The band has toured nationwide and internationally for over a decade and has performed for over 500,000 fans. In 2019 they were officially licensed by the Prince Estate, and in 2021 Marshall Charloff & The Purple xPeRIeNCE were selected by the U.S. Department of State to be featured in the USA Pavilion of the World Expo in Dubai. The band continues to hold the unique distinction of playing the show 100% live, completely untracked.

MARSHALL CHARLOFF AS PRINCE:
Minneapolis-native Marshall was raised in the epicenter of 1980’s music production and worked with producers John Fields and Steven “Funkytown” Greenberg. At age 19 he was discovered and signed by producer Pepe Willie. Marshall is featured on 94 East albums with Prince (he plays guitar and Prince is on vocals).

A multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer, Marshall has written for, produced, and recorded with the Commodores and Little Anthony & The Imperials. His second original album, “Unperfect,” was a Top 100 album of 2020 on global smooth jazz charts. He has also played keys for the Atlanta Rhythm Section and bass with Bobby “Z”, Matt “Dr. Fink”, and Andre Cymone (all Prince alumni players).

Marshall has fronted 25 symphonies in North America performing the music of Prince, and has been the feature of two full-length PBS broadcasts—fronting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra and fronting The Purple xPeRIeNCE at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison, Colorado. He completed a Las Vegas residency starring in “Purple Piano: The World’s Only One-Man Tribute to Prince,” a show in the style of Prince’s “Piano and a Microphone” tour. This production continues to tour nationwide, interspersed with full band performances.
