We love to play.we don't even like to take breaks between sets because the more songs we can play, the better.Music isn’t just about the music. We will keep the audience engaged not only with some great music, but some interesting stories about how a particular song or album came to be. We are all perfectionists who never give up our desire to produce a great product.Īn event planner who hires us can expect a hardworking band who strives for perfection in our performance. So, this band was a vision and dream that wasn't easy to carry out but we have overcome some hard obstacles and some painful loss. Joe Morales(backup vocals/keyboard) and Paul Kompier(drums) also have much professional experience. Jim Wilson(lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Mike Kearns(backup vocals/lead guitar), and Elvis Manson(backup vocals/bass guitar) have played in another band with each other for years. Tom Petty's music has a very wide appeal as we have found out first hand.
So, we did ended up playing our gig at the festival with much success and have played some very fun gigs since. And hence, we acquired Elvis Manson to play the bass guitar. At Rod's wake, we reconnected with another old band mate who so happened to be looking for a project. At that point, there was uncertainty as to whether we would continue this project. He was not only a band mate for many years, but a childhood lifelong friend. Sadly, he passed away on March 10 of 2011. He fought on and continued with the band. In April of 2010, our bass player Rod Wolanin was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. In February of 2011, we then had booked our first gig at a local outdoor music festival to be held in August of 2011. In the fall of 2010 we found our lead guitar player Mike Kearns. We had searched for a lead guitar player, and found a couple that just didn't work out. We added drummer Paul Kompier in the fall of 2009.
Our group was formed in early 2009 by Jim Wilson, Rod Wolanin, and Joe Morales. We are a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tribute band who can entertain at clubs, parties, festivals or fairs, and bars.
