PettyBreakers is the nation’s number one touring tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, named “The World’s Greatest Tribute to Tom Petty” by AXS-TV in 2014. The act has performed in 30 states and Washington D.C., with credits including Harrah’s residencies and an MLB All-Star Pre-Game Celebration.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers built one of the most enduring catalogs in American rock. The songs are instantly recognizable across generations, the choruses are built for singalong, and the catalog spans straight-ahead rock, Americana, and crossover hits that play to a remarkably wide audience. That breadth makes the material work equally well in a 1,000-seat performing arts center, a casino showroom, an outdoor festival stage, or a ballpark concert series.
PettyBreakers goes beyond a standard cover-band approach by faithfully recreating the sound and feel of a real Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert, with arrangements drawn directly from the original recordings. That attention to detail is part of why AXS-TV named the band the World’s Greatest Tribute to Tom Petty and broadcast a capacity show from the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood.
For event organizers, that means less guesswork: this is a vetted, nationally touring act with a powerful concert presentation built around songs the entire audience can sing along to.
PettyBreakers is a proven fit for:
PettyBreakers performs the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers songs audiences most want to hear, giving planners a reliable show built around familiar, high-response material from across the catalog.
PettyBreakers is dedicated to capturing the essence and sound of a live Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers concert, with a level of musical fidelity that has earned the band a national reputation. The catalog is delivered as faithfully as possible to the original recordings, which is exactly what most Petty fans are looking for when they come to a tribute show.
The act’s track record reads like a tour highlight reel. PettyBreakers has performed in 30 states and Washington D.C., including a four-and-a-half-month residency at the Sammy Davis Showroom at Harrah’s Casino in Reno, Nevada, and a two-week residency at Harrah’s Laughlin, Nevada in 2017. In 2018, the band performed the iconic Tom Petty catalog live at the Naval Yard in Washington D.C. for Major League Baseball’s All-Star Pre-Game Celebration, one of the highest-profile bookings any tribute act could land.
In 2014, the band was selected as “The World’s Greatest Tribute to Tom Petty” by AXS-TV and performed a live capacity show at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood, which was cablecast on the network. That combination of national recognition, residency-level professionalism, and a catalog of universally recognized songs makes PettyBreakers especially useful for buyers who want a current, headline-quality tribute that plays to broad audiences.
