BEN ROLLO PRESENTS TOM PETTY
A dead ringer for a young Petty, Ben and his all-star 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 Wilbury's 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.
