Tommy Tutone: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About Tommy Tutone

Tommy Tutone is a rock and pop act identified with early-’80s power-pop radio, anchored by singer and rhythm guitarist Tommy Heath. After moving to San Francisco in the late 1960s, Heath formed the group in 1978, and the band soon broke through with the single “867-5309/Jenny,” later touring as an opening act for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. In New York City, Tommy Tutone appears at The Rooftop at Pier 17 as part of the Totally Tubular Festival, sharing bills with artists including Thomas Dolby, A Flock of Seagulls, and The Motels. The performances favor tight songcraft over spectacle.
