This is not a Tom Petty tribute band. First off, because it's not a bunch of washed-up retired dudes in socks-and-sandals and Tommy Bahama shirts whose sole musical goal in life is to play Petty songs at some tropical-themed bar one Thursday night a month. Every musician and every singer in this show is a vibrant part of the Utah music scene, still making their own music, still playing their own shows. Just a few of the names might ring some bells: Neon Trees, Fictionist, The Moth & The Flame, The Devil Whale, Book On Tapeworm, The Lower Lights, The Blue Aces. And that's just for starters. Secondly, Tom Petty is still alive and making music, so let's save the eulogies for another time. This is a night of Tom Petty's awesome songs, alive and well, played and sung with the heart, the soul, the abandon they deserve. Come sing along to the soaring choruses of "Free Fallin'" and "Learning To Fly", shake your moneymaker to "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "American Girl", listen to the beauty of "Wildflowers" and "Don't Come Around Here No More." All brought to you by the same folks who brought you The Beatles' Abbey Road Show last summer.
Come early to hear notorious #100block rappers Chance Lewis & Apt warm up the stage.
The concerts start at 8pm. Pre-show starts at 7:30pm.
Bring blankets or low lawn chairs to sit on.
Concerts are held on the top level of the Provo Town Square parking terrace - access from 100N 100W.
