Mr. Dana Presents

For over 40 years, Mike Campbell was an integral member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as their lead guitarist, co-songwriter and co-producer. After Petty died in 2017, Campbell took on a new role in his long musical career: singer and leader of his current band, the Dirty Knobs... This motivation for this weeks music break.  I'm also featuring some great Pittsburgh artists. Links for shows below and thanks for taking this break with me.  ~Mr. Dana www.mrdanastuff.com  Jim Donovan & Sun King Warriors Chet Vincent and the Music Industry -AND- Molly Alphabet Blackberry Smoke, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs Shannon McNally
