Rocking with The Petty Thieves: A Tribute to Tom Petty at Brightside on March 28
The Petty Thieves, a tribute band honoring the legendary Tom Petty, will be making their debut at Brightside on March 28. Led by Trey Stone, who bears a striking resemblance to Petty, the band will perform a rock 'n' roll set featuring Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' greatest hits, deep cuts, and Traveling Wilburys' tunes. They will also play Petty's classic album "Damn the Torpedoes" in its entirety, including hits like "Refugee" and "Here Comes My Girl." Stone's look, complete with round sunglasses and a Fender Telecaster, adds to the authenticity of the tribute.

The lineup for this performance includes Stone, Matt Bourelle, Damien Dennis, Jon Berry, Sam King, and Rob Thaxton, all dedicated to honoring Petty's musical legacy.

Stone praises Petty's ability to convey profound messages with simple lyrics and open chords, creating music that resonates with listeners. The band's passion for Petty's music drives their performances, as they aim to deliver an authentic and memorable experience for fans of all ages.
