The Sundogs present the Tom Petty Show in Atlanta

The Sundogs return to Smith’s Olde Bar on Friday, Dec. 9 to play the songs of the great Tom Petty. You’ll get the full Sundog on this fine evening with Lee, Will, Jon, Benji, Kevin and Kevin giving you all the hits, some of the b-sides and all of the awesomeness from our very favorite songwriter and rocker. Opening the show at 8:30 sharp will be our buddies Wayne Glass and Alan Conner’s new band Shadowlands followed by the fine band Amsterdam Station.

“Friday night was the third annual Tom Petty Show and the Sundogs dished out a selection of tunes covering Petty’s entire catalog. If you wanted classic petty then you got “American Girl”, “Only The Losers” and “Don’t Do Me Like That”. Folks that came of age in the 80’s were thrilled to hear “You Got Lucky”, “Don’t Come Around Here No More” and “Runnin’ Down A Dream”. They had the crowd singing along with “Last Dance For Mary Jane” and “Free Fallin'” then brought out Mimi Thomas for a damn fine “Stop Dragging My Heart Around”. These dudes hit on every song the crowd wanted to hear and they nailed the Heartbreaker’s sound with jangly guitars, keyboards and sweet vocal harmonies.” — Chris Martin, Atlanta Examiner

On Friday, December 9th, Atlanta rock and roll band The Sundogs, will perform The Tom Petty Show at Smith’s Olde Bar featuring all of the greatest hits and beloved b-sides from one of the greatest bands in American rock and roll history. The show features a little help from their friends including Jason Fuller on Benmont Tench keyboards, the sultry Mimi Holland as Stevie Nicks, along with Will Groth from the Last Waltz Ensemble on Steve Ferrone drums. Opening bands will include Moontower at 10 p.m. and A Thousand Horses at 9 p.m.

“We adore the music of Tom Petty, from the songwriting style to the playing by Tom with Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench and the rest of the Heartbreakers,” said Will Haraway of The Sundogs. “We’ve been covering them for years and the band is in such a good spot with our personnel and sound that we feel like the time is right to take on the master in a full show.”

In his 45 year career, Tom Petty has sold more than 60 million albums and he and the Heartbreakers were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

“You don’t have to get too cute with Tom Petty’s stuff, just play the hits and play them well,” said Haraway. “We’ve got some of the best players we know helping us out, including our very own Stevie Nicks.”

The Sundogs have released two well-received Americana/Southern Rock albums in the last six years, and played with bands including The Derek Trucks Band, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit and Lucero. Their sound is often compared as a mix between The Band and Atlanta’s own The Black Crowes.
