Benmont Tench is a founding member of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and one of contemporary music’s finest organ players, piano players, anything-with-keys players.

He’ll be appearing on the Avalon stage fresh from opening for Steve Winwood the night before at Wolf Trap. In addition to all of the Heartbreakers’ recordings, Tench has played on records by everyone from Stevie Nicks, Willie Nelson, and John Prine, to Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and the Rolling Stones, just to name a few.

Tench’s second solo LP, 2024’s “The Melancholy Season”, is his true arrival as a singer-songwriter, without compromise or doubt. It was produced by Jonathan Wilson–an acclaimed singer-songwriter and touring guitarist for Roger Waters who has worked on career-defining albums for Dawes, Father John Misty and Margo Price–with an attention to the space and intimacy where the best songs breathe and resonate.
