Welcome to Wildflower Revival, a Tom Petty tribute band located in the Washington, DC area
The Band
Bruce Chandler - Bass, Vocals
Bruce found playing the bass parts on his baritone horn in his school concert band to be a great foundation for transitioning to the bass guitar, which he picked up in his late teens. His initial foray into the music scene was with a KISS tribute band, complete with full makeup and costumes. Since then, he has been a part of numerous rock and pop cover bands playing the DC and Baltimore areas.
Dave Singer - Keyboards, Vocals
Dave has played keyboard and piano in several DMV bands, mixing his love of classic rock with 80s new wave and yacht rock (much to his bandmates chagrin). He has done multiple studio recordings, and can be heard on Spotify. When not playing music he can likely be found on the golf course or exploring the regions vineyards and hiking trails.
David Strauss - Drums, Percussion
David is originally from New York City and has resided in Washington DC since 2008. Since that time David has performed with DC bands Lucky Dub, Achtung Panda, Marsha and the Positrons, as well as Late Night Underground out of Potomac, MD. David is currently playing drums with Wildflower Revival from Northern Virginia and also owns a small cocktail bar in the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood of Washington DC.
John Mancuso - Lead Vocal, Guitars
A native of Alexandria, Va, John has played in a number of DC-area bands over the years, including 3rd Rail and UpaTrio. He fronted a Tom Petty tribute band in the early 2010s, and is thrilled to have a new band to perform the Tom Petty catalog with for local audiences. He is also a songwriter with original material on Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming platforms.
Mike Conner - Lead Guitar
As a guitarist Mike brings 30 years of live performance and recording experience including appearances in Toronto and at least 20 US states. Mike has been a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers enthusiast for a couple of decades and has delved into Mike Campbell’s guitar work in great detail, off-and-on, for most of that time. Mike loves the sound of a wound up AC30 amp and mostly plays Telecasters, Gretsch, and Les Paul guitars.
