Q. Is The Purple Ones the right type of band to hire for a wedding reception?
A. Of course! When you hire TPO to perform at your wedding we already know you’re cool as hell because you want something different. Not a typical wedding cover band.

Q. Is The Purple Ones a Prince impersonation or look-alike?
A. HELL….NO! The Purple Ones is a celebration of Prince’s music. We are all top notch, seasoned pro, FUNKY musicians and singers. Our Musical Director/ Lead guitarist is Levi Seacer, who was also Prince’s Musical Director, bassist and guitarist for many years. He is also a founding member (and current member still) of Prince’s The New Power Generation! We do not attempt to do an impersonation of Prince, but channel his spirit, musicality, and his “live show” energy that no other Prince tribute band can do.
