originally published: 12/27/2022


(LAKEWOOD, NJ) -- The Strand Center for the Arts presents PettyBreakers – Tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on Friday, January 27, 2023 at 7:30pm. What started out in 2010 as a regional band is now the Nations’s #1 touring tribute to Tom Petty. Doors are at 6:30pm.

The PettyBreakers has played in 22 states and Washington D.C. ­with more being added constantly. Having performed at many cool clubs, theaters and festivals, one of the highlights so far was performing at the Naval Yard in Washington D.C. in 2018 for Major League Baseball’s Allstars Pregame Celebration. Another highlight was performing a four and half month residency in the Sammy Davis Showroom at Harrah’s Casino in Reno in 2017. And, yet another, was being selected in 2014 as “The World’s Greatest Tribute to Tom Petty” by AXS-TV. We 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).

Tickets range from $40 to $55 and are available for purchase online.
