Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers Guitarist Mike Campbell Pens Memoir
Mike Campbell has teamed up with novelist Ari Surdoval to write a memoir, 'Heartbreaker,' that traces his life story, in and out of the Heartbreakers.
The book will trace the story of Campbell’s life from his days on the Sixties Florida rock scene through his years in Mudcrutch and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the sudden death of Petty in 2017, his brief stint in Fleetwood Mac that followed, and his ongoing solo work in Mike Campbell & the Dirty Knobs. Every gig featured an extended set where Williams sang Petty classics (“You Wreck Me,” “Southern Accents”) and a smattering of her own solo songs (“Metal Firecracker,” “Right In Time”) with Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. At the moment, Campbell and Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench are paying tribute to the music of the Band on the Life Is a Carnival Last Waltz tour along with Jamey Johnson, Ryan Bingham and others.
