Tom Petty tribute show by The Hard Promises, fronted by St. Louis singer Emily Wallace, at The Pageant.
The Hard Promises bring their Tom Petty tribute to The Pageant on Saturday, November 28. It's a full set of Petty's greatest hits and ballads, played by a band that describes its goal as capturing the essence of his sound.
At the front is Emily Wallace, a St. Louis artist known around here for her powerhouse vocals and for playing solo with her acoustic guitar across the region. She's a familiar face in the local scene, playing in Dave Grelle's Playadors and Sean Canan's Voodoo Players, and she often shares the stage with ensembles like the Funky Butt Brass Band. She's also working on a solo album at Sawhorse Studios, so she's as much a part of the city's music community as she is a frontwoman for this tribute.
Reviewers have described the show as feeling like reliving a live Tom Petty concert, with the venue's charm and acoustics playing a part. The set runs through his best-known songs, from the upbeat hits to the more heartfelt ballads, and the night is open to all ages.
