The Purple Xperience, a five-piece tribute band hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has been zig-zagging around the country since February of 2011, bringing the memories of Prince and The Revolution to audiences of all generations. Led by Matt Fink (a/k/a Doctor Fink), a member of Prince and The Revolution from 1978 to 1991, The Purple Xperience leaves no one disappointed, and on this night at Bethesda Blues and Jazz supper club they again left no doubt on why they are who they are.
Led by Keyboardist, record producer, and songwriter Doctor Fink who won two Grammy Awards in 1985 for the motion picture soundtrack album for “Purple Rain”, in which he appeared. He received another Grammy in 1986 for the album “Parade: Music from the Motion Picture ‘Under the Cherry Moon’”, the eighth studio album by Prince and The Revolution. Matt also has two American Music Awards for “Purple Rain”, which has sold over 25 million copies worldwide since its release.
Marshall Charloff, front man for The Purple Xperience, imaginatively styles the magic of Prince’s talent in an uncannily unmatched fashion with his appearance, vocal imitation, and multi-instrumental capacity on guitar and piano.
Marshall Charloff taught himself to play the guitar at the age of 15 and later taught himself the piano, bass, and drums. On the national platform, he has played rooms all over the U.S including Las Vegas and L.A. In 2009, Marshall teamed up with Doctor Fink from Prince and the Revolution and Pepe Willie from the band 94 East to perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame benefit concert.
It was nothing short of a spectacular show as they had the audience dancing at there tables, in the small isles between the tables, singing along, clapping, cheering and finger popping. If you missed this show then sure did miss something FANTASTIC, and if they ever come back this way…… make no mistake about get yourself a ticket and be prepared to PARTY LIKE IT”S 1999……….
