Coffis Plays Petty
"Damn the Torpedoes" and all the rest...
The Coffis Brothers will be performing a specially curated evening of songs taken exclusively from the Tom Petty catalog. No band contributed more to rock and roll than Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and The Coffis Brothers will pay tribute with a special evening of songs spanning their career.
With their 2011 debut, The Coffis Brothers & the Mountain Men, the siblings introduced their mix of the new and the nostalgic, the contemporary and the classic. They began touring throughout Northern California, joined by a lineup that soon coalesced around bassist Aidan Collins, lead guitarist Kyle Poppen, and drummer Cory Graves. Gig by gig, the band's audience grew. Santa Cruz Weekly described the Coffis Brothers' energetic stage show as "one part Avett Brothers and one part early," with the San Francisco Chronicle praising the group's "easy rock vibe that's actually hip." Meanwhile, follow-up albums like Wrong Side of the Road and Roll With It helped broadcast the band's sound well beyond California's borders.
Jamie and Kellen Coffis were raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California. Their mother was a children's musician who often recruited the boys to join her onstage, instilling in them an appreciation for energetic, catchy songs that focused on melody, mood, and message. "We learned how to sing three-part harmonies with Mom at a young age," remembers Jamie, who later grew into an accomplished keyboardist as his brother sharpened his chops on guitar. When the two began writing songs together in 2007, they found that their shared upbringing -- including the music they'd heard on the radio airwaves as kids -- had left a lasting mark on their artistic sensibilities.
