Being Petty
Bio:
The jangly Rickenbacker chime of “American Girl.” The loping groove of “Refugee.” The heartfelt sway of “Free Fallin’.” Since spring 2022, Being Petty has been bringing Tom Petty’s timeless catalog back to life with eerie, exhilarating accuracy — filling the void left in 2017 for millions of die-hard fans across the Northeast.
From their very first gig, the band was invited to headline an 8,000-seat arena tribute festival — proof that this isn’t just another cover act. Using the exact same vintage instruments, amps, wardrobe, and tones that defined the Heartbreakers’ sound, lead vocalist/guitarist channels Tom’s unmistakable nasal twang, laid-back swagger, and every guitar lick down to the last bent note. Add a massive multimedia backdrop with iconic concert footage and visuals, and you’re not watching a tribute — you’re at a Tom Petty concert again.
