PRiNCE ROGERS NELSON was an iconic, beloved, critically acclaimed, multi-award winning, singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist/ musician and producer regarded as one of the greatest musicians of his generation, and inarguably, of all recorded music history.

Chris brings his own production of Prince’s music to the Jazz Room. He and his all-star band will perform a mix of well-known hits, personal favourites, and a few songs by artists who inspired Prince, as well as Prince gems covered by other artists, inspired and influenced by His genius.
