Tom Petty tribute concert by Sean Canan's Voodoo Players at The Sovereign.
Sean Canan's Voodoo Players are taking over The Sovereign on Friday, December 18, for a Tom Petty tribute they've titled Voodoo Tom Petty. It's a full evening dedicated to the songs Petty wrote and recorded over the course of his career, played by Canan's ensemble rather than a solo act.
If you're not familiar with the name, the Voodoo Players are Sean Canan's go-to group for these kinds of tribute nights. They've built a reputation around this format, putting together sets that pull from a specific artist's catalog and running them through their own arrangement. For this one, the focus is entirely on Petty, so you'll hear the songs he's best known for alongside some of the deeper cuts that didn't always get the same radio play.
It's a tribute in the most straightforward sense: the set is built around Petty's songwriting, and the Voodoo Players are the ones bringing it to the stage. The whole night stays within that one orbit, from the early Heartbreakers days through the later solo work, rather than mixing in other artists.
