The Insiders

Close your eyes and you won’t know the difference—open them and you still might be fooled. THE INSIDERS deliver the ultimate Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers experience, channeling the timeless sound and spirit of an American rock legend. Led by frontman Max Lockwood—whose voice uncannily echoes Petty’s—this six-piece band brings decades of stage and touring expertise to every performance. Lockwood’s bond with Petty’s music began in childhood and grew through years of performing his songs. After Petty’s passing in 2017, he gathered seasoned musicians for a benefit concert that raised thousands for a domestic violence shelter, sparking THE INSIDERS’ creation. Since then, they’ve sold out venues nationwide, with Local Spins declaring they’ve “established a new benchmark for Tom Petty tributes.” More than a show, THE INSIDERS are a passionate celebration of songs forever woven into America’s musical DNA.
