The Petty Experience –
The Petty Experience is the South’s premier tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The band puts on a world-class show featuring tracks from the Heartbreakers’ catalog, Tom’s solo releases, by some of his favorite artists, and by The Traveling Wilburys.
Our goal is to celebrate the life and work of Tom through high octane performances that fully involve the audience. We don’t just give them a great show. We give them an all-round feel-good experience.
