Tom Petty Tribute Band to Headline Keene’s First-Ever Growth by Giving Music Fest

New Festival on September 14 Will Unite Music, Nonprofits, and Local Businesses—All for a Cause

Keene, NH — June 9, 2025 — A powerful new community tradition kicks off this fall with the first-ever Growth by Giving Music Fest, presented by Guyer & Son Roofing, taking place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, in the outdoor courtyard at Tempesta’s Restaurant in Keene. This high-energy, purpose-driven event brings together live music, local food and vendors, community businesses, and nonprofit partners—all in a format that’s fresh and inspiring for the region.

The Breakers, the nation’s top Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tribute band, will headline with a full two-hour set. Dazed, a high-voltage Led Zeppelin tribute act, will perform a two-hour show, and local soul-rock band Strangers will kick off the day with a one-hour set.

Tickets are $30 and available now at www.GrowthByGivingMusicFest.org. They’re priced to keep the event accessible to the entire community.

What sets this event apart: Business sponsors select a nonprofit partner, who receives a booth and shares in proceeds. Some businesses will co-host their booth; others simply want to support a cause they believe in. All net proceeds from tickets, sponsorships, and revenue are distributed to participating nonprofits.

“The real heart of this event is the collaboration between local businesses and the nonprofits they support,” said Joanna Zambella, Event Director. “Jimmy [Tempesta] and I had talked for years about creating a big community music event. Growth by Giving gave us the perfect foundation to make it happen.”

Jennifer Paone of The Production House added: “People want events that do more than entertain. This one celebrates what matters most—connection, community, and generosity—with a killer soundtrack.”

Guyer & Son Roofing, the presenting sponsor and founder of the Growth by Giving movement, sees the event as a natural extension of their values.

“Our goal has always been to make giving a core part of how we do business,” said co-owners Gil Oriol & Sean MacPhee. “This festival is a way to scale that impact, bring people together, and celebrate the organizations doing incredible work in our region.”
