Featured Artist: Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
 
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers stop at The Pavilion Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m. ZZ Top joins the bill for an evening that won't disappoint.

Petty

In the late 1970s, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers released their first album, creating their signature rootsy sound. Throughout the band's career, they were able to expand their genre by introducing psychedelic, Southern rock and new wave influences into their music.
 
The band's second album, "You're Gonna Get It," released in 1978, became their first American Top 40 record. The band's breakthrough release, "Dawn the Torpedoes," had rave reviews, generated the Top 10 hit "Don't Do Me Like That" and the number 15 hit "Refugee." It spent seven weeks at number two on the U.S. charts and sold more than two million copies.
 
Throughout the years, Petty pushed the boundaries of traditional rock and roll. This allowed the group to sustain their popularity for decades. Dedicated fans, don't miss your chance to see Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Sept. 24 at The Pavilion! For more information and to buy tickets, click here.
