Held at Fringe Bar (140 N. Christopher Columbus Boulevard), the event is the latest installment of the popular Soul Sessions Tribute series, which has built a reputation for delivering intimate, high-energy live performances honoring legendary artists across genres.
A Tribute to a Musical Legend
Known for timeless hits such as Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, Kiss, Little Red Corvette, and 1999, Prince remains one of music’s most celebrated and innovative performers. His genre-defying catalog continues to inspire artists decades after his rise to fame.
Leading the evening will be acclaimed keyboardist and musical director Luke Carlos O’Reilly, whose live arrangements have become a hallmark of the Soul Sessions experience.
The event will once again be hosted by Philadelphia favorite Jay The Gentleman, who has helped establish the series as one of the city’s most sought-after live music experiences.
“We had a monumental night paying tribute to Stevie Wonder in May, so it felt right to come back with a tribute to Prince,” said Jay The Gentleman. “This one aims to be our biggest night thus far.”
Featured Performers
The Prince tribute will showcase a talented lineup of featured vocalists and musicians performing some of the Purple One’s most beloved songs.
Scheduled performers include:
Jonah Mayor
Dr3 the Guitarist
Bekah Elaine
Backed by a live band led by O’Reilly, guests can expect soulful interpretations, powerful vocals, and the signature energy that has made Soul Sessions Tribute a standout event in Philadelphia’s live music scene.
An Intimate Night of Music and Community
Part concert, part celebration, Soul Sessions Tribute has become known for creating an atmosphere where music lovers can gather, connect, and experience classic songs performed by some of the region’s most talented artists.
