Band
Mudcrutch
Mudcrutch was Tom Petty’s first professional band. Formed in 1970 in Gainesville, Florida, they released two singles, and broke up in 1975. The following year three of Mudcrutch’s former members, Tom Petty, Mike Campell and Benmont Tench formed Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and as they say, the rest is history.
