Prince, born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7th, 1958, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was a groundbreaking musical performer whose career spanned over four decades. He emerged in the late 1970s and rose to international fame with his eclectic music style, blending rock, funk, R&B, and pop.
His 1984 album "Purple Rain" served as both a soundtrack and a monumental release, showcasing his extraordinary vocal range and innovative production. Known for his flamboyant fashion and electric performances, Prince became a symbol of artistic freedom and individuality.
Throughout his career, he pushed creative boundaries, often challenging industry norms by taking control of his music and advocating for artist rights. His legacy as one of the most influential musicians continues to inspire countless artists across genres.
It's why tribute bands are playing Prince's music years after his death. One such band, Sir Jac, will perform in Apopka this weekend.

"Come join us on this select Saturday for our free, family-friendly Saturday Sounds concert series! On certain Saturday evenings, attendees can enjoy food, beverages, and sweets from local food trucks, or they are always welcome to bring their own food and beverages to enjoy throughout the evening.
Get ready to party like it's 1999! Florida's Prince Tribute Sensation “Sir Jac” will blow Apopka Amphitheater away with an authentic look and sound from a real Prince concert! Expect an Incredible frontman, awesome costumes, and pro-level players in the “Revolution” to bring the house down every time.
Sir Jac walks, talks, and performs as The Purple Royal Legend. No Other quite looks like his perfect twin. Even the legend himself was astonished when Sir Jac met Prince at Paisley Park, and he had been impersonating him for over 10 years in the U.S.A.
All the hits are played like Little Red Corvette, Let’s Go Crazy, Purple Rain, 1999, and many more!"
