Jeff Slate & Friends: 8th Annual Tom Petty Birthday Bash

Beloved classics, deep cuts and lost gems from Damn the Torpedoes, Hard Promises, Southern Accents, Full Moon Fever, the Traveling Wilburys, Wildflowers, Echo and more in an evening celebrating Tom Petty’s 72nd birthday! Live music is back at Hill Country Live! as Jeff Slate & Friends once again lead a celebration of Tom Petty’s birthday at Hill Country Barbeque in New York City on Friday, October 21st.

Jeff and his all-star band – and some very special guests – will treat you to an evening of stellar rock and roll as they dig deep into Tom Petty’s venerable songbook. Jeff Slate made his Hill Country Live! debut in May 2014. Prior to the 2020 lockdown, he returned monthly with stellar, packed shows celebrating Bob Dylan, David Bowie, Tom Petty and others, and playing original music inspired by those legends. Since live music returned he has performed across the U.S. – and returned to Hill Country regularly – to packed houses.
