Into the Great Wide Open…

Refugee was formed in early 2014 by six seasoned New York musicians who love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. It is with love, respect and all our hearts that we pay tribute to Tom, one of the greatest American songwriters of our time. It is a daunting task to do justice to this brilliant catalogue of music but doing so means everything to this band. Tom was taken from all of us much to soon but his beautiful legacy will live on forever. We love you Tom.

Refugee has become one of the most successful nationally touring tributes to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Playing the best of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Tom Petty solo music and some Mudcrutch and Travlin’ Willbury’s thrown in for good measure with such crazy precision you have to see Refugee to believe them.

We are all friends, good friends, we are all life long, accomplished musicians and all of us have a deep love for the music of Tom Petty. We are…

Mike Epstein-lead vocals and guitar
Dominick Rosato-lead guitar
Andrew Nadien-keys and vocals
Niles Hughs-drums
Hillary Epstein-vocals, harmonica, percussion and keys
Kenneth Kearney -bass

We don’t want to ramble, after all it is all about the music but if you are interested in learning more about who we are, come to a show and meet us, we would love to meet you. We guarantee you’ll have a great time-that’s what this band is about… great music, great friends and paying tribute to one of the greatest songwriters/performers of our time the amazing Mr. Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers.
