[TRIBUTE] + FRI., DEC. 29

Celebrate the life and expansive catalogue of Tom Petty tonight at Mr. Smalls, with Pittsburgh Plays Petty: Tribute to the Music & Life of Tom Petty.

There’s Cassie Staub, of Looming and Secret House Sessions; Steve Soboslai, Chris Fafalios and Cory Muro, of Punchline; singer-songwriter Angela Autumn; Jordan Tomb, of Red Hands and emo night; and pianist and vocalist Heather Kropf. It’s hosted by Mayor Bill Peduto. See it for yourself.
