In
2008 Carey Blanton's Lakeland's Best Music Venues brought together
these two former Mudcrutch
band members to form The
Mudbreakers,
|
|
|
|
with
Danny Delves, Gary PK,
Larry Berwald, Conrad Oberg and others.
|
| Tom
Petty and Mudcrutch traveled cross-country to California in 1974
with drummer Randall Marsh, Guitarist Mike Campbell, Keyboard
player Benmont Tench and guitarist Danny Roberts,
seeking fame and fortune, and they immediately signed a contract
with the up-and-coming L.A. based Shelter Records. |

As the first single on Shelter, "Depot Street" was
released, the band lived in Leon Russell's recording studio
for months recording an album of the early catalog of Tom Petty
songs. Then,
in early '75 after Danny left, they brought in bass player Charlie
Souza. However, being confined to the studio took its toll,
and band members went their seperate ways, but later came back
together as
Tom
Petty and The Heartbreakers,
