In 1986, something magical happened. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers embarked on a worldwide toured with Bob Dylan called The True Confessions Tour. The Heartbreakers backed Dylan on the tour, and musical history was made. Relive or experience that incredible tour again with The Broken Heart and Chrome Horse!
THE BROKEN HEARTS were created in 2017 by former Tom Petty and Mudcrutch bandmate and bassist Charlie Souza. Charlie has also worked with other legendary songwriters such as Greg Allman, Vanilla Fudge and The New Rascals. Along with singer/songwriter Shawn Scheller (Save The Radio!) they have assembled a core group of pro musicians that most accurately captures the “live” concert experience of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
The current touring band consists of : Shawn Scheller ( Save The Radio / The Contenders ) as Tom Petty on lead vocals and guitar; Mateo Olivo (Infamous Unknowns / The Contenders ) as Mike Campbell on lead guitar; Dave Walker ( The Hazies ) as Howie Epstein on bass guitar; Aidan Cain (The Contenders ) as Benmont Tench on piano, organ and keyboards; Chris McDonald (The Henleys) as Stan Lynch on drums; and Scott Lockhart ( The Contenders ) as Scott Thurston on percussion and electric guitar.
CHROME HORSE: THE BOB DYLAN TRIBUTE is bringing it all back home
Drew Gabbert, Texas-based veteran musician, has set the table and is serving up an authentic Dylan experience with a repertoire that spans six decades of material. Gabbert offers up a mysterious ability to embody the many voices of Dylan with accuracy and reverence – as if singing through a hall of mirrors.
Close your eyes and you’ll be thoughtfully carried through the young man in old man’s clothes, drifting past the country croon, and held firmly by the elder statesman. These eras with their ancient muses are captured by Gabbert fluently. It must be said, by deliberately eschewing present day technology and electronics, the musical presentation remains intact and precise. Visually, the performance is striking – musically, the performance is unmatched.
Bringing these two acts together transports you back to the magical year of 1986. FOR WHEELCHAIR AND WHEELCHAIR COMPANIONS SEATS, PLEASE CALL THE TICKET OFFICE AT (931) 484-6133.
