See & Do - Pretty Petty September 20 2006

MUSIC

While his third solo effort, Highway Companion, showcases TOM PETTY’S ability to produce stripped-down music, SEPT. 22 he performs with the stadium-filling sound of his Heartbreakers. One thing fans will get out of both Petty’s solo moments and his work with the Heartbreakers is a deeply rooted Southern essence, strikingly present in the Jeff Lynne-produced Companion. Former “it” band the Strokes opens in support of its third (and impressive) release, First Impressions of Earth. $32.50-$75. 8 p.m. HiFi Buys Amphitheatre, 2002 Lakewood Way. 404-249-6400. www.ticketmaster.com.
