Morris Day and The Time tour

Experience Funk Legends Live with TicketPurchase.com

Performer Information

Few bands have stamped funk and R&B with more style, humor, and groove than Morris Day and The Time. Formed in 1981 in Minneapolis, the group features founding members Morris Day, Jellybean Johnson, and Monte Moir, alongside early collaborators like Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Jesse Johnson, and Jerome Benton. Fans still flock to every Morris Day and The Time tour stop for the Minneapolis sound they helped define and the showmanship that made them film-scene standouts in Purple Rain. Their early rise came on the strength of party-starting singles and albums like The Time (1981), What Time Is It? (1982), and the bestselling Ice Cream Castle (1984).

Their legacy reaches across generations—thanks to tight musicianship, comedy-laced swagger, and dance-floor-ready grooves that influence funk, R&B, and pop to this day. Drawing on inspirations like Prince, Parliament-Funkadelic, and James Brown, the band pairs synth-funk hooks with call-and-response vocals and show-stopping charisma.
