About this Event

Join us for a night of vintage rock spirit as Don’t Back Down performs Tom Petty’s 1994 hit solo album Wildflowers front to back. This iconic record blends folk-rock warmth, blues-tinged riffs, and personal truths—think freedom, change, and the open road. Expect the soft acoustic drift of “Wildflowers,” the defiant groove of “You Don’t Know How It Feels,” and the full-throttle roar of “You Wreck Me,” plus much more. After the full-album performance, the band will keep the celebration going with a set of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers classics—delivered with the energy and authenticity only Don’t Back Down can bring.

Through accomplished musicianship and with an enthusiastic delivery, Don’t Back Down energizes audiences up and down the east cost with a diverse mix of songs from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ extensive 41-year, 13-album repertoire, including tracks from Tom Petty’s three solo albums, Mud Crutch and The Traveling Wilburys.

Don’t Back Down was formed in 2017 by a handful of seasoned Baltimore-based musicians who share a mutual love and respect for not only one of the most prolific songwriters of our time but also for the band that produced one of the greatest American rock catalogues. Don’t Back Down band members include: Mark O’Dell on guitar and lead vocals; Chris Huntington on lead guitar; Jeremy Robinson on bass and vocals; Tom Sabia on drums; and Evan Cooper on keyboards and vocals.
