Tom Petty Covers Band needs Bass, Drum, Keys, Lead Guitar

Pomona CA

Description

I'm looking for a few others to collaborate with and rehearse some Tom Petty material with a goal of performing occasional gigs in the area. There are other Petty cover bands around and while the radio hits are many and great, I prefer playing Wildflowers-era songs and other selections mostly from the later half of his career that many people might not be familiar with. I like to mix in some Mudcrutch and Traveling Wilburys too. I have a few dozen songs I can cover with rhythm guitar and vocals. I can play a few lead guitar and harmonica parts too but I notice Tom kept it pretty simple on stage so he could focus on the stories. Capturing the Petty / Heartbreakers sound is an admirable goal but I'm open to working on different arrangements for different sounds: funk, blues, pop, jazzy, reggae, ambient... let's try! I'm a mid-40s dad who enjoys all kinds of music. I'm hoping to rehearse up to a few times per week for a while to get some good momentum and prep some demo / promo material. The working title for this project is "Full Moon Flowers".
