The Story of Tom The Torpedoes
Tom Petty’s tragic and unexpected death in October 2017 sparked the birth of Tom The Torpedoes. Based in Florence, KY., this band nails that genuine, vintage and signature Tom Petty sound. This is not the usual tribute show. Rather a professional rock and roll band chasing a true calling. This lineup and the chemistry has taken years to develop. Now more focused on vocals and treading new ground. These guys are super players and have their own look without pretense (no wigs). The Torpedoes play 99% of the radio hits, a few deep cuts and Traveling Wilbury tunes. Booking big stages, festivals, outdoor events, special events, concerts, theaters, breweries and private parties. “We did it for you.” – Tom Petty
The Band:
Brad Dance – lead vocals and bass guitars
Don Lord - guitars and vocals
Denny "Barron" Lyons - 6 and 12-string guitars and vocals
Pete Pemberton – drums, percussion and vocals

Pete is a perfect addition to this band. He plays the exact late 70s kit Stan played. He's legit! Besides being a great drummer, he is a musician, has a great ear and sings.
