Purple Haze is the Ultimate Jimi Hendrix tribute band. Composed mainly by Pete Roberts (bass, backing vocal) and Ralph Woodson who has has studied his idol to the point of being able to play the guitar behind his back, and with… Show more his teeth. Ralph’s a Hendrix authority, and it’s obvious when you see him perform.

Ralph has toured with Hedzoli Sounds (of which Hugh Masekela was a member), as well as The Mighty Diamonds, Lady Bianca, Faye Carol, and the Trichromes (which included Journey’s Neil Schon and Bill Kreutzmann from the Grateful Dead). With the Trichromes and later with the Sy Klopps Blues Band, Ralph played on big stages opening for Tower of Power, James Brown, ZZ Top, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, among others.

Ralph formed the Ralph Woodson Experience in 2001 (which became Purple Haze in 2010), focusing on the Hendrix material that he grew up with and always loved. Purple Haze has gained a steady following in the Bay Area and knock people out wherever they go. Ralph’s showmanship and command of the Hendrix material is second to none. See it for yourself!.
