🎶 Live Music: The Petty Rocks, Tom Petty Tribute at The Siren

The Petty Rocks run the Tom Petty songbook at The Siren

On Main Street in Morro Bay. The Petty Rocks bring their Tom Petty tribute to The Siren on Saturday, September 19 at 8 PM, running the Heartbreakers catalog the way it deserves: American Girl, Refugee, Free Fallin’, and the deeper cuts that reward a room full of people who know the records front to back. Tickets run $20 to $25 at thesirenmorrobay.com.

Petty’s songbook is close to ideal tribute material, three decades of radio staples built on jangling guitars and choruses everyone can carry, and a good tribute act knows the assignment is the feel as much as the notes. Tribute Saturdays at the Siren reliably draw the singalong crowd, which makes the small room feel twice its size by the second set. Expect the whole arc, from the Byrds-y early jangle through the Wildflowers years.

The Siren is the Main Street room that carries most of Morro Bay’s live music, small, dark, and close to the stage, with the kitchen and full bar running through the night. Shows are 21 and over per the venue’s evening policy, and seating is first come, so arriving ahead of the start gets a table.
