Piedmont Healthcare Friday After 5 Rescheduled for August 15 with Petty Rewind!

Piedmont HealthCare's Friday After 5 concert series is excited to announce that Petty Rewind, a tribute band dedicated to reviving the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will be coming to the stage on August 15 for the make-up concert that was cancelled on August 1. 

Petty Rewind is a tribute band dedicated to reviving the music of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Since their formation in late 2023, they have strived to cover Petty's hits and recreate an authentic rock experience that profoundly resonates with fans. The setlist is carefully curated, spanning Petty's four-decade career, and aims for authenticity, capturing the live essence and spirit of Petty's music. Each band member, HC Oakes on lead vocals and guitar, Mike Robertson on bass and vocals, Paul Marshburn on lead guitar, harmonica, and vocals, Tommy Keys on keyboards and vocals, and Nick Elhini on drums—has a unique connection to Petty's music. This ensures that every performance is a journey through rock history. These concerts are more than shows; they are shared experiences of nostalgia and celebration, where they keep Tom Petty's legacy alive through dedication and skill.

The Piedmont HealthCare Friday After 5 Summer Concert Series brings free live entertainment to Downtown Statesville the first Friday from May through October (except July), featuring an incredible lineup of musical acts spanning country, blues, rock and roll, and timeless classics that guarantee something for every music lover.
