After 30 Years...Tom Petty Still Rocks

I hope you will find a moment to watch this short video on Tom Petty.

Tom Petty has kept his fans and made countless new ones over the 30 years he's been in rock and roll and Anthony Mason spends a little time with the musician.

Rising Nation

Nobody has ever sang a song in my tribute before.. and of all choices a Tom Petty song💘 . Thank you so much to Annabel and Benjamin Hodson-Walker from Rising Nation .. I will never forget this very special moment in my life..Diane

This cover of Mary Jane's Last Dance that Rising Nation did special for me, is even more special to me now with the devastating loss of Tom Petty. If you don't know his music I hope you will, and if you do know his music I hope that you will let it stay with you forever.

Annabel and Benjamin Hodson-Walker wanted to do something special for Diane Young at the 20th Anniversary of Rock off Main at TCAN. After running into Diane at the Tom Petty concert this summer in Boston and learning that it was her 7th time seeing Tom Petty, they decided to pay tribute to Diane by singing a Tom Petty song - Mary Jane's Last Dance. Congratulations to Rock off Main! A big thank you Diane Young for including Rising Nation in the 20th Anniversary of Rock off Main TCAN and for all that she and the many dedicated and wonderful volunteers have done for local music, local venue, young musicians, and all ages concerts!
