The Breakers are the country’s premier Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers tribute band, established to let the fans of the late, great Tom Petty continue to enjoy the live experience of TP & the HB’s.

No other Tom Petty tribute band comes close to capturing the SOUND and emotions of Tom’s songs quite like The Breakers. Experience it for yourself when the band plays Sunoco Performance Theater at Whitaker Center!

“Close your eyes and listen, and you’d swear it’s Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. These guys are the most talented musicians who put their heart and soul into their shows. I’ve seen them six or eight times now, and I can’t wait until the next one.”

Unlike the vast amount of Tom Petty tributes who substitute visual mimicry for sound, the Breakers encompass the true unmistakable sound and execution of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers.
