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, an era where Prince closely monitored the use of his art. 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.
Immediately met with success and adoration from discerning Prince devotees, the band has
now been touring for over a decade, nationwide and internationally, 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 US Department of State to be featured
in the USA Pavilion of the World Expo in Dubai.
Minneapolis-native Marshall was raised in the epicenter of 1980’s music production, and cut his
musical teeth working with Superproducers John Fields and Steven “Funkytown” Greenberg. At
age 19, Marshall, like Prince, was discovered and signed by producer Pepe Willie. Marshall is
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’s second original album,
“Unperfect” achieved the distinction of “Top 100 Albums of 2020” on global smooth jazz charts.
Marshall has also played keys for the Atlanta Rhythm Section, and has played bass guitar with
Bobby “Z”, Matt “Dr. Fink”, and Andre Cymone (all Prince alumni players).
In addition to his work with The Purple xPeRIeNCE, Marshall has had the honor of fronting 25 of
the finest symphonies in North America, performing the music of Prince to great acclaim. He has
been the feature of two full-length PBS Broadcasts; fronting the Detroit Symphony Orchestra,
and fronting The Purple xPeRIeNCE in the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Morrison,
Colorado.
Marshall completed a Las Vegas residency, where he headlined starring in “Purple Piano: The
World’s Only One-Man Tribute to Prince”–a highly-engaging show in the style of Prince’s final
tour, “Piano and a Microphone”. This production continues to tour nationwide, interspersed with
full band performances.
In all of his avenues of honoring Prince, Marshall’s vocals are uncannily accurate, his guitar and
piano skills are masterful, and his endearing stage presence is irresistible in its paradox of
finesse and reverence.
Marshall Charloff’s all-star band, Purple Xperience, hosts a number of world-class players,
including Tracey Blake on lead guitar (played with New Power generation, Sons of Almighty
featuring members of NPG, Tracey Blake Project, Westside: inducted in the Midwest hall of
fame), Ron Long on bass guitar (played with Christina Aguilera, The Backstreet Boys, 98°,
also
recorded with John L., Larry Blackman of Cameo, and Spike Lee), Ron Caron on drums (played
with the Rembrandts, Tina and the B sides, The Melismatics). Cory Eischen on keys (played
with New Power Generation, Prince’s protégé group: Mazarati, Soul Asylum’s Dave Pirner and
Dan Wilson from Semisonic).
