The Tom Prettys may be pretty, but they also rock harder than Tom himself usually did. While still preserving the timeless essence of Tom Petty’s songs, the band delivers them with an energy and passion that leaves audiences shouting for more – the “Prettys” are just that much fun to watch, sing along with and dance to.
Dana fronts the band as Tom Petty and is responsible for whipping docile audiences into packed dance floors that she often joins. Sara plays rhythm guitar with authenticity and style, filling the sound and allowing Shayna to let loose on solos, often bringing the house down. Dunja holds down a key roll on keyboards, critical to making the songs authentic to Benmont Tench. Classically trained like Benmont, she holds true to the meticulous keyboard sound and rhythm of The Heartbreakers. Cass adds a deep clinical study of Petty’s two drummers, while adding a large part of the harder style of the Prettys sound, while also dialing it down on the introspective numbers. Karen on bass guitar joins Cass to keep the rhythm section steady, both of whom empower the front line women to kick some serious rock n roll ass from the opening number to the show’s finale.
When these five women from New York joined their talents together, the band quickly gained recognition for their unwavering commitment to recreating Tom Petty's music with authenticity and style. The Tom Prettys have an undeniable chemistry that translates into electrifying live performances that get fans singing and dancing to their favorite hits.
