About Jimi Hendrix

One of the most influential guitarists of all time, Jimi Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942. His heavily distorted, psychadelic guitar licks inspired many a guitarist to pick up an axe. What made Hendrix so different was his revolutionary set up of amplifiers and effects to create his unique sound. Some of his best-known songs include "Foxy Lady," "Purple Haze," and "Voodoo Child." Known as much for his unique fashion sense (sporting a wild afro, Edwardian jackets, printed silk shirts, and a wide-brimmed hat with a purple band), Jimi Hendrix may be gone, but the man and his music are not forgotten.

Dressing up as Jimi Hendrix

Cloud yourself in a "purple haze" with the Purple Daze Jimi Hendrix costume complete with bellbottoms and a purple printed shirt. Grab an afro wig and tie a purple scarf around your forehead, letting the ends dangle. Put on a pair of hippie sunglasses and a hat made to resemble Hendrix's famous chapeau, a wide-brimmed hat with a purple band. Pick up an axe and get ready to lay down some grooves, channeling the spirit of Jimi Hendrix! Foxy!
