About The Waiting

Since 2013 these six road-tested musicians from various musical backgrounds bring roadhouse inspired rock’n roll shows to celebrate the music of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers ... “oh my my — oh hell yes.”

The Waiting is dedicated to playing true-to-the-sound Tom Petty covers. After the late great’s passing in 2017, their music began to take a special tone, paying sincere tribute to Petty’s place in music history.

About Jason Wickens

Life as a rancher is never easy. Long hours, little money and a seemingly endless amount of work fill each day. Sometimes, those responsibilities can keep you from fulfilling other dreams. For singer-songwriter Jason Wickens, music and ranching naturally go hand in hand. While learning the ropes on his family’s farm in Montana, he also taught himself guitar.

As he grew older, he saved up enough money from working in oil refineries to build himself a small studio. It steadily grew into a special place where friends could gather, create and share great music. That led to the development of “Live From The Divide,” a public radio program that showcases works of the songwriter community.

But none of this has come easily. Balancing work, family and music is no easy feat. Many times, Wickens had to take up ranching jobs to keep things afloat. Even during the darkest days, he was inspired by his fellow songwriters to keep marching forward.
