Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - hailing from Gainesville, Florida before officially forming in Los Angeles kicked the musical
doldrums of the mid-70's in the face with their 1976 self-titled debut album. They followed up that album with YOU’RE GONNA
GET IT and the triple-platinum album DAMN THE TORPEDOES. Their success has been mounting from there. Not many artists
can match Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' record of 26 years of commercial success along with an equal period of
creative growth and critical acclaim.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers were inducted in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on March 18, 2002, their first year of
eligibility. They have been the recipients of countless awards and recognition but most importantly they have continued to
impress, entertain, and inspire their millions of fans for over 25 years.
