Tom Petty to play the Fillmore with his band Mudcrutch on 6/7
In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Tom Petty said he was finished making solo albums. Fortunately, the rock icon is not done making music altogether — he and his band Mudcrutch are recording a new album and will be stopping by Philadelphia for a headlining date at the Fillmore on June 7.
Technically, Mudcrutch isn’t a new band — the group, made up of Petty, Tom Leadon, and Randall Marsh – was Petty’s pre-Heartbreakers band back in the 1970s. In 2008, Petty decided to get Mudcrutch back together, enlisting the support of Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell as well. Now, the five-piece version of Mudcrutch is back and in the process of recording their second album, which will be released this year.
Tickets to the Fillmore show go on sale on April 1 at 10 a.m. Until then, watch a 2008 performance of the groups track “Scare Easy” below.
