The iconic American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and record producer Tom Petty was most famous for his band “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.” Formed in 1976, Petty and the band recorded a number of hit singles including Free Fallin and I Won't Back Down, selling more than 80 million records worldwide, and becoming one of the best-selling musicians of all time.
Tom Petty's untimely passing last October left millions of loyal fans around the world to mourn, including Martyn Jones. Martyn now pays tribute to one of his favourite artists in the band Breakdown: The Ultimate Tom Petty Tribute. Jones himself has recorded on over 70 albums as a recording artist and professional performer. Marty’s ability to magically morph into Tom Petty provided the opportunity to make this convincing show a reality.
Breakdown’s tribute is being described as the most accurate representation of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The band brings together a slate of high caliber professional musicians who share a genuine love and appreciation of the legendary Heartbreakers. Covering all of the hits from as early as 1976, Breakdown re-creates the look and sound of Tom Petty performance. Performing in theatres and on festival stages across Western Canada, Breakdown always puts on an exciting and energetic show.
Audiences will be thoroughly entertained by this Southern gentleman and a band that totally rocks!
