An all-star Texas cast of players performed the songs of Tom Petty at The Kessler Theater in Oak Cliff last night, which included full coverage of the Wildflowers album. It was an incredible night, and we are struck by the actual logistics of pulling this together with so many players. The variety and background of players made for a great night. Here they are:

Adam Pickrell (music director), Amy Curnow, Andy Timmons, B’Ann Crooks, Bob Watson, Bryan Wakeland, Cameron Ray, Carrie Norwood, Christopher Holt, Chris Norwood, Clate Bowen, Dave Monsey, Emsy Robinson, Hunter Hendrickson, Jacob Metcalf, Jason Corcoran, Jay Terleski, Jeff Liles, Jim Metcalf, Jj Johnson, Joe James, John Solis, Kenny Withrow, Linda Garner, Marc Solomon, Michael Smith, Mike Daane, Patrice Pike, Paul Slavens, Rocki Langlinais, Sarah Kasprzyk, Tom Bridwell, Tony Barsotti, and Will Kniffen.
