SPEARFISH, SOUTH DAKOTA

The Band

Five players from the northern Black Hills who grew up on the same radio station. Together they cover the whole Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers catalog — hits, deep cuts, and the songs that made you pick up a guitar in the first place.

Garrett Holtz

Bass & Vocals

Garrett locks the low end into the pocket the Heartbreakers built their whole sound on — simple, round, and relentless — while carrying lead vocals that lean into the drawl instead of imitating it.

Jason Guthmiller

Guitar & Vocals

Jason handles the Mike Campbell duties: the hooks everybody sings on the drive home. He trades leads and harmonies all night and keeps the arrangements honest to the records.

Blake Thomas

Keyboards

Blake brings the Benmont Tench end of the sound — the organ swells and piano hooks sitting underneath everything, the part you don't notice until it's missing.

Zach Dunham

Guitar & Vocals

Zach brings the jangle and bite that make a Petty song a Petty song — Rickenbacker chime, no wasted notes, and harmonies that hold the choruses together from 'Refugee' straight through the encore.

Ed Mealey

Drums

Ed drives the show from behind the kit with Stan Lynch-style backbeat and restraint: big when the chorus needs it, out of the way when the song does the talking.
