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.
It is with great humility and respect that Don’t Back Down strives to present audiences with truly authentic versions of these great songs — keeping the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers alive in the hearts of life-long fans, new fans and budding rock musicians everywhere.
Whether the music of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers has been the sound track to your life, or you’re just looking for an exciting live rock experience, look no further than Maryland’s premier Tom Petty tribute band, Don’t Back Down.
