America’s #1 Tribute to Tom Petty

Presented by VaughnCo Entertainment Inc.

The international touring band The Wildflowers are North
America’s #1 Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.

“Who doesn’t love Tom Petty?” bassist Darryell Stone asked
himself one day in 2012 while listening to the radio. There was only one answer
he could imagine, “Nobody.” Testing his hypothesis, Stone polled friends,
family and fellow musicians how they felt about Petty. The result was always
the same. Everyone loves Tom Petty.

One of these fellow musicians just happened to be Tom
Petty’s doppelganger, guitarist and lead vocalist Jonathan Guthrie. Guthrie was
an avid fan and had always fantasized about being a Heartbreaker. As two
seasoned musicians and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fans, there was really
only one thing for them to do – form a Tom Petty tribute band.

The new Tom Petty tribute band rehearsed with one focus – to
recreate the music of Tom Petty with precision, attention to detail, and a
reverent respect. Parts were studied in great detail, down to inflections in
the very way each word of every lyric was sung.
Performing locally in the first year, it didn’t take long for the band to be
noticed. Word spread quickly, which led to more shows outside the band’s home
state, which led to more word of mouth and exposure. Soon the band was gaining
interest from venues across the southeast, which led to more travel and more
Tom Petty fans discovering them.

Jump ahead 100 shows and The Wildflowers have become one of
the most popular tribute shows across the southeast US, and quickly gaining
recognition in other regions.

Equipped with decades of experience and a passion for Tom
Petty’s magic way with songs, The Wildflowers bring music lovers of all stripes
what they adore. More Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers.
