Description
Come Enjoy an evening with Seattle’s premier tribute to the music of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Petty Thief!
When you hear someone mention “Tom Petty Tribute Band”, you immediately think of someone in a top hat wearing a tacky blonde wig and giving a cheesy vocal performance with a fake, nasally-Bob Dylan type delivery.
Well, that is not who Petty Thief is.
Petty Thief is a no frills rock band from the Seattle, WA area who meticulously encompass the Tom Petty sound and musically establish an emotional connection with the crowd that’s assembled. When asked why they didn’t take the impersonation and prop-driven approach, founder Andy Volmer says, “we wanted to approach the tribute genre as a true live rock and roll band, not a novelty act, and with this lineup of the band, we finally have what no one else has – the most authentic and genuine sounding Tom Petty experience in the Pacific Northwest.”
The members of Petty Thief all come from a background of recording and touring with various successful cover, tribute and original bands and perform the music of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers with the same passion and dedication, as if it was their own. They pay tireless attention to detail to each and every song they play, which appeals to both casual and diehard Tom Petty fans alike. Since the Fall of 2016 when Andy Volmer, Steve Crabtree, Mark Mosholder, John Paredes and Rick Bourgoin first joined forces, they have been practicing and honing their sound and connecting with audiences all over the Pacific Northwest.
Petty Thief was originally formed back in 2007 by Andy Volmer as a spoof for a Halloween party, but 2026 marks the 19th Anniversary of the band, and they are thrilled to still be out there, continuing to play for the lovers of Tom Petty’s great music.
