Tom Petty


This is one of my all time favortie artists.

Tom Petty is an American singer/songwriter from Florida who has to date sold over 60 million albums around the world. Tom Petty first hit the music scene in 1976 with the band Mudcrutch, however due to their lack of success Tom Petty chose to pursue a solo career. Some of Tom Petty's most popular songs as a solo artist include "Refugee," "Free Fallin" and "I Won't Back Down." 

Over the years Tom Petty has played in a number of bands (Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch) and collaborated with a number of great musicians. It is clear to see that Tom Petty has received most of his success from singing solely and with the Heartbreakers.Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have to date released 12 albums, the most recent being "Mojos.'' Popular tracks by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers include "The Trip To Pirate's Cove," "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and my personal favorite "It'll All Work Out." 

This music veteran is definitely one to watch. It comes as no surprise that Tom Petty can and will put on a great show. Over the years, Tom Petty has not only performed with the likes of Roy Orbison and Bob Dylan, but he has also played on some of the worlds biggest stages. I will warn you though, don't hang about if want to get tickets - Tom Petty's rock shows sell out of tickets fast.
