Heavy Petty is the Bay Area's premiere Tribute to Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. With a high-energy, interactive and exciting live show and uncanny sonic similarity to the real thing, Heavy Petty has been amazing audiences all over the Bay Area since 2002.
Heavy Petty is the brainchild of lead singer Joe Ruiz. Blessed with a voice remarkably similar to Tom Petty's, he thought it could be a lot of fun and enlisted his brother, Marty Ruiz to play drums. Marty was the drummer for San Francisco's own Superbooty!
Eric Boales was enlisted to join on bass guitar and has been a key asset to the band since the beginning. He also does a mighty fine job of singing Roy Orbison when called to upon do so on stage.
KC Cormack was a perfect fit on lead guitar from the first moments of his audition. His tone, style and fierce licks lead the band through their shows with all the flavor of Mike Campbell with his own spice added in. In a word, KC rocks.
Adan Schwartz joined the band in 2005 and adds the definitive color to round out the sound. His keyboards, piano, harmonica and dancing cowbell are first rate and the band would not sound as good as they do without him.
Heavy Petty continues to perform on stages large and small all over the Bay Area. It's a great night out and they invite you to come out and join the party. They always bring a good time and rock the house! They are available for corporate events, private parties and wherever else you want the amazing Petty experience in an intimate setting.
