At the forefront of legendary Rock and Roll bands, you are sure to find Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Since 2003, San Francisco based Petty Theft has been touring the western United States, performing Tom Petty’s songs true to the originals and in the spirit of the Heartbreaker’s live shows. Their sold-out tours, with names that give a nod to Petty’s own, have ignited the hearts of thousands of Petty fans hungry to hear his music live. Petty Theft has been named the Best Tribute/Cover band for four years in a row by the North Bay Bohemian, as well as collecting accolades throughout California. They have performed with Steve Ferrone (drummer for Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) multiple times and opened for Lynyrd Skynyrd and Tesla. 

See them live at Almost Famous Wine Lounge, an award-winning tasting room and venue located on Vasco Road in the heart of Livermore's wine, spirits and brewery district. Almost Famous Wine makes fifteen wines in diverse styles, and earned over 50 top industry awards since our debut in 2021.

Dan Durkin - Lead Vocals, Guitars & Harmonica 

A founding member of Petty Theft, Dan is a consummate lead singer and front-man who makes everyone feel like they were invited to the party and whose powerful vocals carry the room wherever they go. Dan also founded Marin County bands Frontline and East of Eden. His band East of Eden shared the stage with Michael McDonald, Chris Isaak, Bruce Hornsby and even drummer Pete Best of The Beatles. His left-handed/upside-down guitar playing fascinates audiences and has other guitarists scratching their heads wondering how the heck he does that. 

 

Adam “Bagel” Berkowitz - Drums 

Bagel’s musical career is a varied one. He has produced, engineered, mixed and drummed on over 30 albums, one charting at #39 on the Americana Charts and another recently up to #16 on the CMJ Hip Hop Charts. Bagel was one of 25 “Up and Coming” unsigned drummers across America to receive an endorsement deal with Paiste Cymbals and has toured throughout the continental U.S. and abroad. A few of the many artists Bagel has or is currently performing with include: Jerry Hannan, Noelle Hampton, Larkin Gayle, The Mother Truckers and The 85’s. Besides his infectious groove, Adam is a performer you can’t help but watch as he works that kit! 

 

Django Bayless - Bass & Vocals 

Besides being a founding member of Petty Theft, Django has performed in many Marin County bands, most notably Sapphire, Triad, and Gahundza in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Django also performs with The 85’s (80’s tribute band). Django solidifies the rhythm section with his steady bass playing and anchors the vocals with his pristine high harmonies. 

 

Michael Papenburg - Guitar 

Michael is a Bay Area native and sought after session player who has been performing in Bay Area bands since the early eighties. The list of artists he has worked with includes Matt Nathanson, Lilyvolt, Brittany Shane, The GoldDiggers, The Welcome Matt, Hey! Brontosaurus, Cameron Ember, Sebastian, The Mad Cattle Ensemble, Orange, and Missile Harmony. He loves playing slide guitar and has been a fan of Tom Petty since he bought “Breakdown” on 45 when it was first released. 

 

Monroe Grisman- Guitar, Vocals 

Born into a musical family with both his parents being accomplished musicians, Monroe is a veteran guitarist of the SF Bay Area music scene who has performed and recorded with numerous local bands that have toured both domestically and abroad. Monroe has also worked as a producer and session musician for local and international recording projects and was a member of highly regarded rock bands American Drag and Stereo Flyers.  Besides PT, he is currently a member of Kana Mota and working on other original music projects. He also performs around the Bay Area with The 85’s (80’s tribute band), AZDZ (AC/DC Tribute), and The Soul Jah Family Band (Classic Reggae covers). Monroe brings a high energy edge to PT with his electrifying solos and fun stage presence. 

 

Steven Seydler - Keyboards 

Veteran keyboardist Steven Seydler continues to be a sought-after session and touring musician in Northern California since making his permanent home in Sonoma County in 2010. His early career launched quickly from his hometown in Boston, MA after studying at Berklee School of Music and with legendary educator Charlie Banacas. Steven has toured with platinum recording artist Jorge Ferreira and Grammy award winning group Tavares throughout the United States and internationally through South America, Australia, Canada, Europe and Japan. Steven currently performs regularly with Petty Theft and the Dylan Black project.
