Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers guitarist Mike Campbell is hitting the road in March to promote the debut LP by his band The Dirty Knobs
is turning his attention to his band the Dirty Knobs. The group of Los Angeles-based musicians, led by the Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers guitarist, is releasing their debut albumMike Campbell formed the Dirty Knobs 15 years ago, but they have never gigged outside of Los Angeles or released an album. In addition to Campbell, the group features singer-guitarist Jason Sinay, bassist Lance Morrison and drummer Matt Laug.
“Over the years, The Knobs became an outlet for me to play some of the other songs I was writing,” Campbell says in a statement, “and to keep the creative juices flowing in between working on albums and tours with Tom and The Heartbreakers.” After the shocking death of Tom Petty in 2017, they became his primary creative outlet. “Losing Tom was earth-shattering for me,” Campbell says. “It was a total shock. It had felt like we would be playing together forever. For a while it was hard to imagine playing in my own band again, let alone one where I’m the frontman. Tom was always my beacon. But everything I’ve been doing since Tom passed, including this album with The Dirty Knobs, is in the spirit of honoring what we did together.
Wreckless Abandon features contributions from Chris Stapleton and Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench. It was produced by George Drakoulias and the artwork was created by Plastic Ono Band bassist Klaus Voormann. They planned on releasing this album a while back, but Campbell’s unexpected invitation to join Fleetwood Mac delayed their plans.The group is playing in Santa Barbara, California, on January 24th and 25th and will launch an American tour on March 10th. The dates are below.
