If you didn’t know, Mike Campbell is the “other guy” in The Heartbreakers, a band with Tom Petty. Mike met Tom in a Gainesville, Florida carport in 1972… and the rest is history.
In addition to being in Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, he also co-wrote songs with Don Henley (“Boys of Summer”), Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks… etc.
In 2022 he released his second LP External Combustion, as Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs.

The Baseball Project
featuring Peter Buck • Scott McCaughey • Mike Mills • Linda Pitmon • Steve Wynn
at Turf Club
We love R.E.M., so naturally, we have been covering The Baseball Project since 2012, calling them “a supergroup”: “Members includes Peter Buck (REM), Scott McCaughey (singer of The Young Fresh Fellows* and The Minus 5**), Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate), Linda Pitmon (Hazel Motes), and sometime Mike Mills (REM).”
Also, all their songs are about baseball… and nothing says “American” than Baseball and a July tour. The Baseball Project writes, “We are VERY excited to announce that we’ll be hitting the road again this July! We had such an amazing time at the end of last summer when we first brought our latest batch of songs (from last summer’s “Grand Salami Time”) to the stage, that we immediately made plans to get back out for another jolt of adrenaline. Thanks to all of you who came out back in August/September – your massive enthusiasm is what keeps us raring to get back in the van and crank up the amps every night. Tickets are already on sale at all the venues below, so find a show near you or plan a road trip to see us in one of these fine cities!”
