Detroit, MI — Back by overwhelming popular demand, The Preservation of Jazz is thrilled to bring back The Mutha Funka’s – The Prince Tribute for another electrifying night at the iconic Aretha’s Jazz Café. This powerful musical celebration returns with an all-star lineup of Detroit’s finest musicians and performers.

Thaddeus Walker
Clarence Williams
Ray Pettway
Kevin Knott
And special guest performance by Man
Together, this dynamic collective channels the funk, soul, brilliance, and bold creativity that defined Prince’s iconic legacy. Audiences will relive the timeless hits that shaped generations — from the flirtatious groove of “Kiss” to the emotional power of “Purple Rain.”
Expect a night of high-voltage musicianship, unforgettable arrangements, and pure purple magic as these artists deliver a performance worthy of the Purple One himself.
Set inside one of Detroit’s most beloved cultural stages, this tribute invites you to celebrate, dance, and experience the spirit of Prince like never before.
