Red Corvette - A Tribute to Prince

Red Corvette is the newest Prince tribute act on the scene, but its members have actually been honing that signature Prince sound for over 15 years and on more than 1000 Prince tribute shows! That sound of Funk mixed with a little Rock and a lot of Pop. The band is tight and, in the words of Prince, “Hits like a jackhammer”!​ Red Corvette is Mike Lane (music director, keyboardist, lead vocals and back vocals), Tommy T (guitar and back vocals), Wickett (bass and back vocals), Anthony (drums) and Chyna (percussion, lead vocals and back vocals). They’re fronted by the charismatic singer Donny T, whom they met when Donny booked a gig in Las Vegas portraying Prince in Purple Reign: The Prince Tribute Show.

The band plays all of the hit songs, and Donny delivers all of the classic Prince moves, splits, jumps, and spins with style and finesse.​Collectively the band has toured around the world several times over backing musical stars like George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, David Letterman, Brownstone, The Deele and many others.​Red Corvette is committed to honoring the legacy of Prince and his music and dedicated to slamming every time they hit the stage! You owe it to yourself to take a ride with Red Corvette!
