WMNF Presents: A Tom Petty Tribute – 7pm $20/25
October 22, 2022 @ 7:00 pm
$20 – $25
Just Do Me Like That: A Tom Petty Tribute
Show Starts at 6pm
910 Skipper Rd, Tampa, FL 33613
Tom Petty was born and raised in Florida, so it’s only fitting that Florida’s best community radio station will be the only one in the state celebrating his birthday with a full night of Tom Petty’s music! Like the Gainesville legend, WMNF 88.5FM got it’s start in the late 70’s. Both Petty and WMNF rejected the bland sounds of classic rock radio at the end of the 70’s, and instead, moved towards a blend of Byrd-like Folk, Punk, New Wave, Garage Rock, and Dylan-esque singer/songwriters for a unique sound like never before.
WMNF is celebrating with at least 12 bands performing over 40 of his best songs from 26 albums, including Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Traveling Wilburys, Tom Petty solo, and Mudcrutch.
“I think this could be the best tribute ever! I’ve had more bands ask to be part of this WMNF show than any other since I started these tributes 12 years ago. Tom Petty is our home state guy—we love him,” said Flee, WNNF Music Director.
