The Breakers – A Tribute to Tom Petty takes place at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe on Friday, May 15, 2026 and Saturday, May 16, 2026 at 8:00 PM, delivering a faithful, no-frills celebration of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ catalog.

Led by vocalist Chris Chartier, whose voice closely captures Petty’s tone and phrasing, the band brings together seasoned musicians with backgrounds in recording and touring original music.
Formed in 2018, The Breakers spent months refining their sound before debuting to sold-out crowds, quickly building a reputation for detailed musicianship and respect for the original material. Their performances are built around the songs themselves—tight arrangements, recognizable riffs, and the kind of energy that defined Petty’s live shows.
For fans looking to relive the music of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers in a concert setting rooted in authenticity, The Breakers deliver a straightforward rock and roll experience.
