The Broken Hearts and Chrome Horse: A Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Tribute

“THE BROKEN HEARTS " were created in 2017 by former Tom Petty and Mudcrutch bandmate and bassist Charlie Souza. Charlie has also worked with other legendary songwriters such as Greg Allman, Vanilla Fudge and The New Rascals. Along with singer/songwriter Shawn Scheller (Save The Radio!) they have assembled a core group of pro musicians that most accurately captures the "live" concert experience of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. 

The current touring band consists of :

- Shawn Scheller ( Save The Radio / The Contenders ) as Tom Petty on lead vocals and guitar.

- Mateo Olivo ( Infamous Unknowns / The Contenders ) as Mike Campbell on lead guitar

 - Dave Walker ( The Hazies ) as Howie Epstein on bass guitar,

 - Aidan Cain ( The Contenders ) as Benmont Tench on Piano, Organ and keyboards

 - Chris McDonald ( The Henley's) as Stan Lynch on drums

 - Scott Lockhart ( The Contenders ) as Scott Thurston on percussion and electric guitar

 Drew Gabbert, Texas-based veteran musician (Fate Lions, Sunward, Glymmur), has set the table and is serving up an authentic Dylan experience with a repertoire that spans six decades of material.

Gabbert offers up a mysterious ability to embody the many voices of Dylan with accuracy and reverence – as if singing through a hall of mirrors. Close your eyes and you’ll be thoughtfully carried through the young man in old man’s clothes, drifting past the country croon, and held firmly by the elder statesman. These eras with their ancient muses are captured by Gabbert fluently.

It must be said, by deliberately eschewing present day technology and electronics, the musical presentation remains intact and precise. Visually, the performance is striking – musically, the performance is unmatched.
