All Star Purple Party is fronted by Edward “Junie” Henderson, a longtime lead vocalist with E.U. (Experience Unlimited), the Washington, D.C. go-go band behind the #1 R&B hit “Da Butt” and Spike Lee’s School Daze. Backed by an all-star band with a full horn section, it is a Prince tribute led by a singer who has charted himself, delivering up to two hours of nonstop hits.
Prince is one of the most gifted and influential musicians of the modern era. He sold more than 100 million records worldwide, won seven Grammy Awards and an Academy Award for Purple Rain, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. His catalog moves effortlessly between funk, rock, R&B, and pop, which is exactly why it fills a dance floor with every generation in the room.
Most Prince tributes are led by impersonators. All Star Purple Party is led by a working recording artist. Junie Henderson spent years as a lead vocalist with E.U., one of the defining bands of Washington’s go-go scene:
Prince built his live reputation on musicianship, and this show honors that. All Star Purple Party performs with a full live band, a horn section, and backing vocalists drawn from musicians around the country, giving songs like Kiss, 1999, and Let’s Go Crazy the punch and swing they had on stage.
The show is designed as a party, not a recital. Buyers get:
2026 marks ten years since Prince’s passing, and interest in his music has only grown. A stage musical adaptation of Purple Rain is scheduled to open on Broadway in spring 2027, bringing the story and the songs to a new audience. With Prince no longer able to perform them, a live band with the musicianship to do the catalog justice is the way to put these songs in front of your crowd.
All Star Purple Party is a proven draw on the East Coast. Its February 2024 Purple Rain 40th anniversary celebration at Keystone Korner Baltimore sold out the early show and added a second late show. The band has also performed at City Winery Philadelphia, at DowntownDC’s free Prince birthday concert in the park, and in dinner-theater and supper-club rooms across the Mid-Atlantic.
From his Minneapolis beginnings to Purple Rain and beyond, Prince wrote, produced, and played on records that defined the 1980s and shaped music for decades after. He was a guitarist of rare ability, a showman without equal, and a songwriter whose work was recorded by artists across every genre.
All Star Purple Party is based in the Washington, D.C. area and led by Junie Henderson, whose years with E.U. put him on the R&B charts and in a Spike Lee film. He fronts an all-star band with a horn section and backing vocalists, performing up to two hours of Prince’s biggest songs in full Prince-style wardrobe.
For buyers who want a Prince night that feels like a real concert and a real party, All Star Purple Party pairs the catalog with a frontman who understands, from his own career, what it takes to move a crowd.
