The Broken Hearts were created by former Tom Petty and Mudcrutch band mate; musician/songwriter/author/bassist/vocalist Charlie Souza, along with singer/songwriter Shawn Scheller (Save The Radio!/Saigon Kick/The Contenders) as a tribute to Tom’s passing in October of 2017. Originally intended only as a temporary project, the group of musicians including keyboardist Robin Swenson (Air Supply, Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons, Chuck Negron’s 3 Dog Night), guitarist Joe Sanders (Blackbird Revival, Basic Rock Outfit), drummer Scott Lockhart (Save
The Radio!The Contenders) along with Souza and Scheller became continuously requested to perform event’s in Tom’s honor.
In 2018, the decision was made to become an official touring tribute project paying respect and honor to the life and music of Thomas Earl Petty (October 20, 1950-October 2, 2017). The current touring band consists of guitarist Mateo Olivo
(Nine Days, Infamous Unknowns, The Contenders) as Mike Campbell, Dave Walker (Robin Trower, The Hazies) as bassist Ron Blair, Aidan Cain (Save The Radio!/Saigon Kick) as Benmont Tench on keyboards, piano, synthesizers, harmonica & acoustic guitar, Chris ‘Blu’ McDonald (Kind Villain) as Stan Lynch on drums and still featuring original members Scott Lockhart as (Stan Lynch/Steve Ferrone/Scott Thurston) on drums/guitar/harmonica/vocals/percussion/live production and Shawn Scheller as Tom Petty on vocals, acoustic and electric guitars.
