“Purple” was recorded live at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin. The performance included the audience participating as the crowd at a soccer game and middle school students creating the sound effects.

Warning: drug use, suicidal thoughts, depression, deportation, bullying

Thanks the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council for their support.
