 Tom Petty
The outing is three shows in, with the next stop being a two-night stand in Philadelphia this Thursday and Friday (5-6 June). Since the original tour announcement, a second show was booked in the Boston market and a few festival performances were added to the itinerary: Milwaukee's Summerfest, Denver's inaugural Mile High Music Festival, San Francisco's Outside Lands fest, and the Pemberton Festival, BC.
Veteran singer/songwriter Steve Winwood is supporting the trek.
The road trip came as a bit of a surprise, since Petty had previously told a reporter that his 2007 tour to support "Highway Companion" could be his last.
"Highway Companion," which surfaced in the summer of '06, marked Petty's third solo release and 18th overall career album. The set debuted at No. 4 on The Billboard 200, making it the singer/songwriter's highest-ever chart debut.
Petty also recently reformed his pre-Heartbreakers outfit, Mudcrutch, with original bandmates Tom Leadon and Randall Marsh, and longtime Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell.
