Our friends and colleagues at Vincent Records have created the entertainment event of the season. The Purple Madness is the ultimate celebration of the widely-beloved and profoundly influential musician: Prince.

The tribute, fronted by Atlanta-native Bobby Miller, provides an electrifying performance that can be best described as energizing and “must see.” He perfectly recreates the sights and sounds of the artist Prince, performing with great honor and utmost reverence for the now-deceased musician. In a performance that is second to none, Miller re-creates many of Prince’s most memorable concert moments for those who never got the chance to see Prince live.

He is backed by some of the most talented dancers and musicians, who have toured across the US and abroad with over 100 years of music experience collectively.

This production is a collaboration between Vincent Records and The Times Productions and is the second concert produced by this partnership. The first concert, announced earlier this month, features a special, first-ever acoustic evening with John Waite on January 23, 2020, at The Nordlof Center in Rockford. Vincent Records is owned by local musician Vince Chiarelli. The Times Productions is owned by local business owner Peter Provenzano. https://www.facebook.com/events/455829658465824/

This abbreviated version of Ron's complete presentation is a private program for Siena residents. Roy Orbison was a musical giant who composed hundreds of songs, created a unique musical style, and developed an uncanny vocal talent. He hailed from an area in Texas that produced a phenomenal number of musical giants such as Buddy Holly, Waylon Jennings, in addition to Roy. This program of slide images, musical performance, and narrative explores the music that influenced Roy’s parents’ and Roy’s generation as well as the music that Roy performed during the years before he became an international celebrity.
