Petty Breakers at the Blue Note
The PettyBreakers Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers plays the Blue Note on Friday, Jan. 12, at 6:30 and 9 p.m. What started out in 2010 as a regional band is now the nation’s #1 touring tribute to Tom Petty. The PettyBreakers have played in 22 states and Washington D.C. One of the highlights so far was performing at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. in 2018 for Major League Baseball’s Allstars Pregame Celebration. Another highlight was performing a four-and-a-half month residency in the Sammy Davis Showroom at Harrah’s Casino in Reno in 2017. They were selected in 2014 as “The World’s Greatest Tribute to Tom Petty” by AXS-TV. They performed a live show at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood to a capacity crowd, which was cablecast on AXS-TV. The band consists of Ozzie Mancinelli (lead vocals, guitars), John McAllister (lead guitar), David Zeman (keyboards, vocals, acoustic guitar, harmonica), Danny Leoni (bass, vocals) and Rafael Gayol (drums, vocals).
