Southern Accents In Concert
When he died on October 2, 2017, Tom Petty left behind a lifetime of classic songs — songs that are woven into the very fabric of popular culture. Those songs live on in Petty's dozens of albums, both as a solo artist and with the Heartbreakers, but now that the man himself is gone, so is the opportunity to experience him delivering them live to a crowd of adoring fans. But there is the next best thing: Southern Accents, the ultimate Tom Petty tribute band.
Comprising six superlative musicians from Nashville's rich music scene, Southern Accents have been bringing fans the Petty experience for the last three years, not only performing his timeless hits with exacting reverence but even looking and acting the part. At the helm is Petty doppelganger Ronnie Gregg, who sports the straw-colored locks and Mad Hatter haberdashery of "Don't Come Around Here No More"-era Petty, not to mention the signature voice and funky moves. Backing him are musicians who've toured with the likes of Dolly Parton (lead guitarist Bob Ocher) and Trisha Yearwood (bassist Bob Jones), all of whom know both the licks and the looks of their counterparts in the Heartbreakers. These are veteran players who've proven themselves over the years in a slew of major professional projects and dedicate their time and attention to Southern Accents for one simple reason: They love sharing the music of Tom Petty.
And when Southern Accents take the stage, they embody not just the music but the feeling of a Petty concert. The band loves the songs you love, of course, blockbuster hits like "American Girl" and "Refugee." But they also love the possibility of exposing their audiences to Petty songs they might not know, older rarities and obscure B-sides like "Honey Bee" and "Crawling Back to You." A typical Southern Accents show will have audiences singing along and probably shedding a tear or two — out of joy, for sure, and also out of reverence for the dearly departed, one of the greatest American artists of all time.
THIS BAND IS SPOT ON!!!! A GREAT TRIBUTE TO TOM!!! MR. PETTY WOULD BE PROUD!!! WE HAD A BLAST!!!! THANK YOU.....CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM AGAIN.
The band was outstanding great performance lot of talent on the stage that night!
These guys are incredible. They have perfected the look and sound of Petty. Great musicianship and showmanship! Never disappoint!
This band from Nashville consists of guys who are all accomplished musicians so the quality of their music is outstanding. I was impressed with the way they honor Tom Petty's legacy. I went with a group from Tom Petty Nation, and we had a blast. Many of us followed them to Louisville from their performance in Cincinnati the previous night. GO SEE THEM!
It was an amazing show! This was my first time seeing Southern Accents and they did not disappoint! I'm looking forward tk seeing them again when they are in my area!
Southern Accents was spot-on with their renditions of Tom Petty and Heartbreakers' best material, including playing the full album of "Full Moon Fever" in the second act of the show. The lead singer was fully channeling Tom, as well as allowing his own personality to shine through while sharing some personal-life details with the audience. The rest of the band members were fantastically talented musicians and while none of them said anything during the show, you had the sense they were very in tune with each other and the audience. Our gang of merry music lovers would happily see them again!
These guys are the best. They have the energy to get the whole place on their feet and singing out loid to all the favorite songs
This awesome tribute band performed to perfection Tom Petty’s solo album Full Moon Fever. What ever you are looking for in a tribute band they are definitely the best at everything! From Free Fallin to the Zombie Zoo! It was fun ♥️
Awesome tribute band! Can’t wait to see them again. Highly recommended!!
The band did a great job playing the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers best hits.
I have always enjoyed seeing TPATH. Now that I sadly can’t do that anymore, I will and did enjoy this tribute band !! They had a great selection of Tom’s music! They are not trying to replace Tom, but to celebrate him!! Southern Accents were happy to share their talents with the people that love and miss TPATH! I will definitely see them again if they are in the area!
Talented musicians. Lead singer did a nice job sounding like Petty. We had obstructed view seats which were a bummer
