"My wife and I attended the Somewhat Petty show at the Orange Peel in Asheville Saturday night and let me tell you, there is nothing petty about this band! Every song was played with the same quality and style of the original Tom Petty Band by this group of 6 extremely talented and seasoned professionals. It was very apparent that this band had studied and rehearsed every song to pay a proper tribute to the original Tom Petty band. They would be honored to hear them perform. Thank you Somewhat Petty and the Orange Peel for booking their performance. This made our trip to Asheville complete."
