Damn The Torpedoes delivers an authentic and electrifying tribute to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, capturing the signature riffs, harmonies, and essence of the music with precision.

Audiences can’t help but sing along, dance, and reminisce about the legendary artist’s enduring legacy.

 

Rich Kubicz has been singing and playing guitar since his early teens. By 2007, after countless comparisons to Tom Petty in both look and sound, he decided to form Damn The Torpedoes as a 

tribute to the rock icon. 

 

A staple of the NYC music scene, Lee Boice has toured extensively across the U.S. and Europe. Known for his dynamic stage presence, Lee is also a talented producer and songwriter. 

 

Gary Castelluccio (Benmont Tench/Scott Thurston – Keyboards, Guitar, Harmonica, Backing Vocals) 

A multi-instrumentalist with decades of experience, Gary brings depth and versatility to the band. His mastery of keyboards, guitar, and harmonica adds rich layers of sound, making him a 

key element of Damn The Torpedoes’ signature style. 

 

With over 30 years of experience on the international music scene, Johnny Pisano has performed alongside legends like Bruce Springsteen, Billie Joe Armstrong, Joan Jett, and Alice Cooper. His 

bass playing and backing vocals bring an undeniable energy to the band. 

 

Ross is the rhythmic powerhouse of Damn The Torpedoes, blending the finesse of Stan Lynch with the driving force of Steve Ferrone. His polished percussion work and vocal harmonies help bring the band’s performances to life. 

 

Together, Damn The Torpedoes recreates the spirit and sound of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, ensuring that the music lives on for fans old and new.
