Jeff Slate came up in the mid-1980s US East Coast post-punk scene, playing CBGBs and other legendary clubs of the day as the singer, guitarist and principal songwriter of the Mindless Thinkers, named by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols at a drunken aftershow party. By the early '90s, Slate was a solo artist, and made his name after working with The Who’s Pete Townshend, touring with Sheryl Crow and founding the mod-influenced band The Badge. Taking a page from the likes of The Kinks, The Who and the Small Faces, The Badge released three albums of original material, as well as numerous singles, EPs and live releases, before going on hiatus.Since then, Slate’s solo releases have included famous friends and A-list session players, and his songs have appeared in advertising and films, and on television, including in the hit show Gossip Girl. Slate has toured throughout the US over the past 13 years, sharing the stage with Roger McGuinn, Jeff Tweedy, Willie Nile, Margo Price and Sheryl Crow, and touring as support for Jakob Dylan’s Wallflowers in 2024, as well as headlining the Woody Guthrie Center and the opening of the Bob Dylan Center, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the Switchyard Festival at Tulsa’s legendary Cain’s Ballroom, and Tom Petty Weekend in the late artist’s hometown of Gainesville, Florida. He’s even been an all-star counselor at the celebrated Rock and Roll Fantasy Camp!A guest host on SiriusXM, Slate is the co-author of the 2017 book The Authorized Roy Orbison, with the late-legend’s sons, and Guitar, the memoir of guitarslinger Earl Slick, from 2024, and has written liner notes for albums by Orbison, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, among many others. In 2023, Slate interviewed Bob Dylan, one of only a handful the icon has given this century. Jeff’s fourth solo album, The Last Day of Summer, featuring Dave Stewart, Duff McKagan, Earl Slick, members of Paul Weller’s band and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, was released last May via Schnitzel Records. The photo shoot for the album was done by none other than famed rock photographer Bob Gruen.Please Note: Two Item Minimum Per Attendee, All Sales Final#LiveatCafeWha? - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/jeff-slate-and-friends-the-music-of-tom-petty/100001330843281079 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, art, festivals, workshops, literary-art, parties - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25.95, max: 38.49, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Cafe Wha? - **lat**: 40.73008400000001 - **long**: -74.0005579 - **full address**: Cafe Wha?, 115 MacDougal Street, New York, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Jeff Slate & Friends: The Music of Tom Petty - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/cce9985740592b2c6750fca04f6925217f249c8efd28b8e193b0e7a4bd9cbb22-rimg-w1200-h600-dc881c19-gmir.jpg?v=1747106621 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Jeff Slate & Friends: The Music of Tom Petty being held? - **A:** Jeff Slate & Friends: The Music of Tom Petty takes place on Wed, 18 Jun, 2025 at 06:30 pm to Wed, 18 Jun, 2025 at 07:45 pm at Cafe Wha?, 115 MacDougal Street, New York, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Jeff Slate & Friends: The Music of Tom Petty? - **A:** Ticket prices for Jeff Slate & Friends: The Music of Tom Petty range from USD 26 to USD 38 depending on the ticket type.
