The band

Who we are

Petty Thieves play the songs of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the way fans want to hear them: big choruses, ringing guitars and a rhythm section that never rushes. We borrow the songs, not the spotlight, and we steal a little of the Heartbreakers’ swagger along the way.

2-3 hours of hits, album tracks and the odd surprise. Perfect for bars, festivals, private parties and fundraisers.
