Drummer boy Patrick Carney in action
Patrick Carney teams with Petkovic for album

Black Keys’ Patrick Carney, son of retired BJ reporter Jim Carney, and Cobra Verde’s John Petkovic teamed up in the Sad Planets band to record the ‘Akron, Ohio’ album.

The Akron natives were in the Grammy-winning Black Keys band (Carney) and Death of Samantha band (Petkovic).

Carney will remain with Black Keys and Dan Auerbach, another Firestone High grad. Carney and Auerbach will launch another Black Keys tour this fall that includes a stop at the frequently renamed Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, home of the NBA’s Cavaliers.

Carney and Petkovic have been friends nearly all of their lives.

Both have performed or watched the late Ralph Carney, Jim’s brother and a multi-instrumentalist, when Ralph did his gigs.
