Based in West Springfield, Massachusetts, Good To Be King (GTBK) is celebrated as The Premier Tribute To Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers. Formed in 2002 as The Jesters, GTBK rebranded after Tom Petty’s passing in 2017 to honor the Heartbreakers’ enduring legacy. GTBK focuses on reproducing the Heartbreakers’ classic sound with meticulous attention to arrangement, tone, and dynamics. Their ethos — play it like you wrote it — emphasizes musical precision over visual mimicry, delivering a faithful, energetic live experience that resonates with longtime fans and new listeners alike.
