Being Petty - The Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Experience

Starts at: 7:30pm
The Historic Claremont Opera House

"What would it be like if Tom Petty was still with us, performing with the Heartbreakers to this day? Now the fantasy comes to life, with Being Petty – the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Experience. In early 2021, Bruce Hilton and Larry Ladrie embarked on a mission to create the ultimate Tom Petty tribute band, dedicated to sharing all the excitement and emotion of a live performance from the original band. The result is an assemblage of massively talented musicians/performers with a passion for the music, and the skills to pull it off."
