The Petty Kings are one of the best Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers tributes around! Formed in 2016 and based in Chicago, IL, the Petty Kings deliver an authentic recreation of a live TPATH concert.
Klehm’s Woodsong Concerts are lawn-style events held in our beautiful Fountain Garden, meaning there are no reserved seats and attendees should plan to bring their own blankets, chairs or other seating. Attendees are welcome to bring their own food and drink to enjoy in a responsible manner prior to and during the concert.
