Friday December 28th at 7pm, Tito Malaga starts off the evening with a good dose of Gypsy/Mediterranean music, followed by The Legendary Hitchhikers at 9:30 and their rockin’ tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

Along with a truckload of Tom Petty songs, we will also be doing a few other timeless songs by bands like The Doors, The Wallflowers, and even a special arrangement of a Meters song – originally by The Beatles, covered by Aerosmith, re-written by the Meters and now re-arranged by The Legendary Hitchhikers. Can you guess which song?
