There’s no question that rock has evolved, but let’s be real: While rockabilly dominated the scene in the beginning, it has devolved into a subgenre with nothing more than a cult following.

Yeah, there are Brian Setzers and Chris Isaaks, but no one shows off how rockabilly would sound (had it gone through a dramatic evolution) better than Jared Petteys and the Headliners.

On their latest EP Shake A Little, the Charleston-based trio combine Mike Campbell-esque guitar tones with rhythms energetic enough to fit in with modern rock tunes, while still maintaining song structure similar to the songs that came before.

Tickets to see Jared Petteys & The Headliners play the music hall at New World Brewery in Tampa on Friday, March 15 are still available for $15 online and $20 at the door.
