Ben Rollo Presents: The Music of Tom Petty

A dead ringer for a young Petty, Ben and his all-star 7-piece band share a chemistry reminiscent of the legendary Heartbreakers. They feature signature guitars like the 12-string Rickenbacker, Flying V and Gretsch, a hammond organ & Leslie, piano and a deadly rhythm section as well as tight harmonies. It's as close to seeing Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers as it gets. Ben and his band create an extraordinary evening of music featuring all the hits from Petty's 40 year career, his solo albums and a little Travelling Wilburys too! Come out and enjoy the late great Petty's timeless songwriting and style and The Heartbreakers' incredible range in rock, blues and folk music.

Tom Petty’s music shaped a generation of outsiders, dreamers, and anyone who just wanted to do things their own way. His songs were simple, honest, and unforgettable—built on hooks you couldn’t shake and lyrics that somehow said exactly what you were thinking.

Hearing them live today isn’t about nostalgia—it’s about connection. The songs still land. They still hit a nerve. And they still feel good loud.

You’ll leave tapping your foot, singing a few lines under your breath, and maybe remembering something you hadn’t thought about in years.
