(RED BANK, NJ) -- Fans mourning the loss of Tom Petty can enjoy a night of his music when Bobby Bandiera presents "Runnin' Down a Dream: A Tribute to Tom Petty" at the Count Basie Theatre on Sunday, November 5. Tickets range from $29 to $49; a special meet & greet with Bobby Bandiera is available for $99.
In a statement released to the media, Bandiera said, "Earlier this year, I played the Basie and paid tribute to legendary supergroup The Traveling Wilburys. We performed Wilburys songs, and we played music from Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Jeff Lynne, George Harrison, and Tom Petty."
"Tom Petty," he continued. "God bless Tom Petty. He was one of the great American singer-songwriters, maybe one of the last great American singer-songwriters. His music has always affected me, and always will."
A portion of the proceeds from the night will go to MusiCares, which named Tom Petty its "Person the Year" earlier in 2017. MusicCares is an industry organization that helps musicians when they need it the most. In 2016, MusiCares spent more than $4.2 million helping more than 16,000 clients with a plethora of needs, from medical care to substance abuse treatment to housing and emergency instrument or equipment issues.
The Count Basie Theatre is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.
