We always kind of knew someday that Tom Petty would save the world. Now we are starting to see the evidence for ourselves. Petty Fest is a music festival and charity event that brings together some of the biggest names in music and entertainment to play a concert of Tom Petty’s greatest hits. In a sold out New York show on Nov. 6 Petty Fest raised $15,000 for the Eastern Musicians Fund to help those affected by Superstorm Sandy. Now the same group, The Best Fest, has announced they will bring their Petty driven charity machine to LA for two shows at the El Rey Theater Nov. 14 & 15. Check out more info about tickets and how you can donate after the jump.
Headlining the LA shows will be special guests Patrick Carney of The Black Keys, Nick Valensi and Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, Sarah Silverman, Members of Eagles of Death Metal, Butch Walker, Matt Sorum & Ace Harper, Jesse Malin, Harper Simon, Nicole Atkins, Har Mar Superstar, Bijou Phillips, Ryan Miller of Guster, Justin Bartha, Jenny O., Rodrigo Amarante, Greg Rogove, Adam Busch, AA Bondy, Petter Ericson Stakee of Alberta Cross and many more surprise guests who will join The Cabin Down Below on stage to perform their favorite Tom Petty songs.
Sweet Relief Musicians Fund will be directing all funds raised from Petty Fest West in LA to The Eastern Musicians Fund @SweetRelief to assist those affected by Hurricane Sandy. A special limited edition poster of the event has also been created and will be available at the shows for a $20 donation.
