✨️A George Michael tribute like no other is coming to Minnesota 🎤

Martin Kember — known for selling out shows across California — is bringing his electrifying performance to Minnesota Music Cafe for the very first time on Friday, May 29, 2026.

Faith. Freedom. Fast Love. Careless Whisper.
Every hit — smooth, seductive, and impossible to sit still to.✨️

From the global pop explosion of Wham! to one of the most iconic solo careers in music history, George Michael created a soundtrack that still hits just as hard today.

And here’s the thing…

This is NOT your sit-quietly-and-behave kind of night.

IT'S A

💃 Hit the dance floor and move
✨ Or grab a great seat and soak it all in

This is that feel-it-in-your-body, lose-track-of-time kind of night.

📅 May 29, 2026 | 8PM–11PM
📍 Minnesota Music Cafe
🎟️ Tickets from $25 + fees
In comment and in bio

🎟 Tickets available at the door, also

Don’t wait on this one, this will sell out… you already know you’re not staying home for this. 🎶✨

THE PURPLE LOVE TOUR💜
Friday, April 17, 2026 10am

Consider this your backstage pass to Minneapolis. No velvet ropes, no generic bus commentary — just four hours of real stories, iconic sites, and insider knowledge. Once you hear these stories, you'll understand why the Minneapolis Sound doesn't just live in the music — it lives in this city, on these streets, in these walls, and in every person who has ever been a part of it.✨️

Our first stop is Riley Creek, right outside Paisley Park — where fans still come to leave personal tributes to the music that changed their lives.
🌼

On the way back, we hit the highlights:

The Purple Rain House (exterior)

Park Avenue United Methodist Church (exterior) — Where love and royalty came together

First Avenue (exterior) — The club that put the Minneapolis Sound on the map

The iconic mural near First Avenue

Mural near The Orpheum Theater

Schmitt Music Wall

Plus more deep-dives only your guide can give you.

Your guide will share stories and facts from the time when the Minneapolis Sound was coming alive — and why it continues to thrive today.
🎷🎹🎸

WHY THIS TOUR IS UNIQUE

No app, no map, and no generic tour can give you what our guide brings — personal, insider knowledge of the people and places that built the Minneapolis Sound from the ground up.😎

GREAT MUSIC DOESN'T JUST ENTERTAIN YOU-IT CHANGES YOU.

THIS TOUR WILL REMIND YOU OF THAT.

COME FEEL IT FOR YOURSELF.
