REPOST: Benmont Tench of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (October 2016)

from Vinyl Emergency · host Jim Hanke; Benmont Tench

The recent, sudden passing of Tom Petty has been rough for all who knew him and adored his music, so this week we're rerunning our chat last fall with Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tench. Ben's memories over the last 40 years of performing with Tom, and his passion for vinyl and music in general, make this one of our favorite interviews we've done.
