For close to 40 years, the troubadours known as Tom Petty & The
Heartbreakers have been a fixture on rock and roll radio with their
distinctive songs about love, hope, and the uniquely American
experience. Throughout their career, the band has sold over 60 million
records, including nearly 18 million copies of the band’s Greatest Hits
collection. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame alumni has appeared in the
Billboard Top 10 in five consecutive decades, and continues to sell out
stadium tours well into the new century.
The Waiting is a unique tribute to the sounds and melodies of that
classic American songbook. Formed out of of one of the country’s most
popular tribute acts (Journey tribute band Frontiers), The Waiting has
spent a decade perfecting the subtle nuances of a large scale tribute
act. They bring those experiences to one of the greatest catalogs of any
rock and roll artist, in a show that embodies not a breezy imitation but
a channeling of the spirit and sounds of the band’s legendary live
performances. The chiming guitars, organic pianos, and soulful drawl
of Petty are present and accounted for - But the spirit of improvised
melody and the deeper connection that ties those sounds to so many
lives is something that can’t be rehearsed. The Waiting frontman
Jeremey Hunsicker has proven a skilled caretaker of timeless songs
(as evidenced by the invitation to join the actual band Journey in
2007), and The Waiting crafts an electrifying live experience forged by
a decade of grand scale experiences.
