"This is the first year of many that I can't see Tom Petty in concert. I heard about your band, and of course had to go to the park. I actually thought it was last week, and drove around for two hours, lost so I am glad I was off by a week because I got to see you today. Amazing! I loved it. It made my weekend, thank you. The last song was great too!"

“We made the trip to Tracy from Santa Clara and it was WELL worth it! I'm personally a huge fan of good tribute bands so maybe a bit biased but if you have a chance to see these guys then don't miss out. They are GOOD! And a ton of fun to shuffle your feet to! Lead singer sounds just like T. Petty and the band catches all the riffs and melodies the Heatbreakers do in concert. A++. ” 05.28.10

"I had such a blast dancing to your music (and singing with you too)!! You played all my favorite Petty songs. Everyone enjoyed your music so much-you even had two eighty year olds up and dancing!! It was the best birthday party I have ever had or been to for that matter. Jody, you do Tom proud, and I love your heartbreakers. Rick, Mike, Louis and Raymond(Mr. Benmont) you guys are awesome. Thank you so much for a truly unforgettable day!! You rock!!!! Looking foward to seeing you again very soon." 8.8.09

"Although I am usually not a fan of tribute bands, I really enjoyed the Refugees! For the most part, they played the greatest hits, with some nice surprises-for example, "The Wrong Thing to Do," "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," and "King's Highway." I definitely recommend seeing them if you get the chance!" 7.2.09

"We finally made good on our quest to see you at the Crow's Nest. Don't know if you recall, but the last time you played there we couldn't attend because of the age requirement. We had a great time and the band was terrific. Cheers, Barry !" 7.2.09

"Absolutely LOVED the show at the Crow's Nest on Sat...and so happy to hear TP tunes since he doesn't come around but so often. Keep me posted on your local shows....cause this #1 Petty fan (the only one in a TP tshirt the other night 🙂 is now also a big fan of the Refugees. Thanks for taking the time to chat in the lobby. Happy holidays! " 11.2.08
