A few years back, Aaron Lee Tasjan suggested that Tom Petty title his next album All My Songs Are Better Than Yours. Although I really don’t think that works as record title, there is certainly a good bit of truth to that. Which, of course, makes any show which contains Tom’s songs worthwhile. Tonight’s edition of this annual event, moved from its former location at The Bowery Ballroom to the bigger Webster Hall, will have the following line up (courtesy of The Bowery Presents):
Karen Elson, Justin Townes Earle, Father John Misty, Adam Green, Nicole Atkins, Jesse Malin, Sammy James Jr. of Mooney Suzuki, Cory Chisel & Adriel Denae, Steve Schiltz of Hurricane Bells, Ryan Miller of Guster, Har Mar Superstar, Devendra Banhart, Johnny T, Andrew W.K., Matt Sweeney, Danny Clinch & The Tangiers Blues Band, Justin Long, Petter Ericson Stakee of Alberta Cross, Delta Spirit, Caveman, Mikki James, Jody Porter of Fountains Of Wayne and many many more surprise guests
Petty Fest, Bowery Presents at Webster Hall, 125 East 11th Street between 3rd and 4th Avenues (4, 5 or 6 Train to 14th Street, L Train to 3rd Avenue or 14 A or 14D bus to 3rd Avenue), doors 8pm / show 9pm, $25
