Summary
On this episode of Artists to Watch Las Vegas , host Carlaya sits down with Las Vegas’ premiere Prince tribute performer Jason Tenner , frontman of the award-winning production Purple Reign at Planet Hollywood. Recently named the “All-Time Best Tribute Show” by Las Vegas Weekly , Purple Reign has become a beloved staple of the Strip—complete with live musicians, the signature Minneapolis-sound energy, and absolutely no backing tracks. Jason shares how a Halloween costume unexpectedly launched his 28-year journey portraying Prince, the evolution of the show from a small club across from UNLV to national TV appearances on David Letterman and AXS TV’s World’s Greatest Tribute Bands , and why the emotional connection with Prince fans keeps every performance charged with nostalgia and authenticity. From the challenge of performing in Prince’s iconic high heels to the crowd-pleasing power of deep-cut favorites like “Adore,” “If I Was Your Girlfriend,” and “Darling Nikki,” Jason gives listeners an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the dedication and artistry that fuel one of Las Vegas’ most electrifying live tribute productions. 🎟️ Where to Get Tickets & More Information Catch Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show live at the V Theater inside Planet Hollywood’s Miracle Mile Shops.
