WATCH: Welshly Arms Pay Tribute To Tom Petty At Bottom Lounge
Last nights’ Queued Up show with Welshly Arms was a blast. This retro blues, soulfully edgy, alterna rock band from Cleveland gave a much needed break from the world we’re in. What an escape it was. The only thing that brought the crowd at Bottom Lounge back down from the cloud was this amazingly perfect tribute to Tom Petty. While we’ve seen many great covers in the last few days, many agaped jaw could be seen as this rendition of ‘Running Down A Dream’ was performed.
