In this season full of annual traditions, live music performances in the Twin Cities have also gotten involved. You may have read our review of Ike Reilly Assassination, a twenty plus year Thanksgiving Eve tradition at First Avenue. If you read our previews, January is full of some long-standing annual residencies from the likes of Charlie Parr and The Cactus Blossoms. Yet another of those traditions is the December performances of the Tom Petty tribute band All Tomorrow’s Petty playing at St. Paul’s Turf Club, where we caught the second night of their two evening stand.

Hemma is the Swedish word for home, and is the musical name for Hannah Hebl who began the evening. You can check her recent 2025 album Abalone Sky, as well as a fair amount of other music. The group came to the stage as a trio (vocals/guitar, guitar, and drums). An Americana and adjacent folk sound, the first song Fame had a yearning vocal from Hebl and closed with the guitarist on a still pedal effect. Buckskin Pony let Hebl go personal with her vocals (if that makes sense), and gave the guitarist a fun solo / driving melody to the end. A quick tuning led to a nice acoustic guitar intro and more of that slightly mournful vocals. Hemma had a nice pace in the songs with vocals leading to quieter but fairly complex guitar solos. Some guest vocalists (including Hilary James of bathtub cig) came up for Boarding School Blues, a song “of processing the horrors of an East Coast boarding school”. Playing a Petty cover of Learning to Fly, Hemma leaned a little more into that rock sound, but it still had a slight Americana edge to it. The addition of another artist (John Cushing on trombone) made for a new sound, but still had Hebl’s lyrics as the center point. The final song Lullabies had yet another guest musician, with a flute player replacing trombone. Finishing up, Hemma had done a great job of warming up the crowd with an excellent opening set. 

(Side note: I have heard many a musician talk about their merch that is available after their set. This might have been the first time I have heard an artist mention that they do tarot readings as part of the merch options, and indeed Hebl had the cards set up next to her music.)

Headliner All Tomorrow’s Petty came on as a septet (three guitars, bass, keyboards, keyboards/percussion, and drums, with many vocalists). This band calls themselves a collective and that’s an appropriate call, as there are musicians from a number of Twin Cities bands, including Halloween Alaska and the afore mentioned Cactus Blossoms. With strong backgrounds in rock and jazz and other genres, this was a great line up of musicians to take on that distinct Tom Petty sound.

Starting with American Girl, the band had gone for a hit out of the gate and the audience was hooked right away. With a lead singer who had the cadence and vocal style of Petty down effectively, this was a great starting point. And with all that talent on the instruments, this absolutely flew. That front end was just a great run of hits, with You Wreck Me being a great example of both the fun vocals and some great guitar work. It was a pretty packed audience and the resulting song alongs and cheers were pretty constant. A shout out to the sound guy was truly heartfelt and then the band was off again with a keyboard heavy number. The band did a good job of running deep into the Petty backlog, with Kings Highway being a choice that held par but also let the band continue to shine with a slightly different vocalist arrangement. Mary Jane’s Last Dance was absolutely the banger it should be and both band and crowd were on point.

Refugee was a slightly slower version that let the band soar a little bit, with some steel guitar effect in action. A synth heavy version of You Got Lucky was a very different direction from earlier numbers and highlighted the flexibility of the band. We got more of that keyboard work with a long solo on The Apartment Song, which was a riveting jam session. That was followed by an actual instrumental jam, then back to identifiable numbers. Listen to Her Heart let all four of the guitarists go off, and the band’s happiness was pretty apparent. Hemma came back to stage to sing Here Comes My Girl, a slightly more psychadelic number from the band. Walls (Circus) was perfectly done and a reminder of how long into the 90’s Petty remained a staple of hits. From there to the end, it was a trio of some of the biggest songs, with Don’t Come Around Here No More having the crowd swaying along and many singing loudly. All Tomorrow’s Petty had put an exclamation point on their two evenings and are sure to be back next year.
