It felt like my nervous system just received a hug.

FAQs
- WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE ALBUM ENDS?
When the final track ends, the room opens. Guests are invited into a guided reflection conversation about what the album stirred emotionally, culturally, and personally. There is no pressure to speak. Listening is participation.
- WILL THERE BE FOOD AND DRINKS?
Yes. Curated heavy bites are included with every ticket. Cocktails, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages are available for purchase through the venue.
- CAN I TALK DURING THE ALBUM?
We ask that guests remain silent during playback. Phones are put away. No recording. No filming. No scrolling. This is part of what makes the experience different.
- WHAT IF I ARRIVE LATE?
Playback begins promptly at 6:15 PM. Late entry may be held until an appropriate transition between tracks.
- IS THIS A CONCERT?
No. This is a seated, high-fidelity vinyl listening experience. The album is played in full on vinyl in a room designed for stillness, attention, and connection.
- IS THERE A BREAK?
No. Purple Rain runs 43 minutes, so we’ll listen in one sitting. There will be a brief, quiet pause while the record is flipped from Side A to Side B. Please use the restroom before the needle drops.
- IS SEATING ASSIGNED?
Seating is first-come, first-seated. Collector’s Edition guests receive early entry at 5:15 PM and have first choice of seats before general admission doors open.
- WHAT TIME DOES THE ALBUM BEGIN?
Doors open at 5:30 PM. Playback begins promptly at 6:15 PM.
- IS THIS EVENT REFUNDABLE?
All ticket sales are final. If you are unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to someone else.
- WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Come as you would for an intentional evening out. Elevated, comfortable, and authentically you.
Testimonials
“I forgot my phone even existed.”
“My heart was hijacked.”
It was great to step out of my earth suit and have my heart beat match the beat of the music.
A much-needed reprieve from parenting, work, and the places my mind thinks it wants me to rabbit hole into.
