Free Fallin Celebrates The Life And Music Of Tom Petty In 2018 With The Broken Hearted Tour  Image

Consider for a moment just how much Tom Petty and his music is intertwined with American culture. He wrote and recorded songs that became the soundtrack to millions of people's lives, becoming a ubiquitously revered star in the process.

When he passed away in October, the members of Free Fallin were heartbroken knowing that they and everyone else had lost someone they admired greatly. But for Free Fallin, it was a bit more personal than to most others. For the last 10 years, they have worked studiously to develop and refine the best live tribute show to Tom Petty that fans have ever seen.

Long before that fateful October day, Free Fallin considered it their calling to provide Petty's throngs of fans with the most accurate, skillful and soulful tribute experience they possibly could. From their outfits to their equipment to their playing styles, they honed in on all of the details so that fans at their shows would come away with that same magical feeling of seeing Tom Petty play live.

With Petty's untimely death, the members of Free Fallin feel that call even more. While nobody can ever replace Petty as a musical icon, his millions of fans deserve to celebrate his life and music in a way that will move them and let them connect with his music. It has never been, and never will be about replacing Petty and his music -- that would be impossible. Instead, Free Fallin wants to lead the way in keeping the Tom Petty flame brightly lit.
