There’s never been a group, let alone a super group in rock history quite like the original Wilburys. They created two mega albums and launched a slew of hits in the late 80s and early 90s, capped with a Grammy win in 1989. But one thing they didn’t do is tour. That is…until now! The Traveling Milburys capture the sheer talent, excitement and magic of The Traveling Wilburys for all to see and experience. Live! On stage! In Vero Beach! The five mega talented musicians feature all the hits of The Traveling Wilburys in period-correct costuming and authentic instrumentation that showcases the greatest hits of The Traveling Wilburys. Then they take it one step further by highlighting songs that made each bandmate a certified rock legend!
Each member of The Milburys is dedicated to each of the 5 Wilburys – complete with original instrumentation and outfits. They have five of North America’s top tribute artists each performing as one of the Wilburys. Plus – a full support band of seasoned studio musicians. It’s a formula that makes this band unique and makes their performance unforgettable! They will take you on a trip down memory lane via a multimedia experience filled with nostalgic imagery, videos, and breathtaking photography of days gone by. This is a not-to-be-missed sight and sound experience! All the hits of The Wilburys plus the songs that made each member a rock & roll legend!
This quote deserves your attention, “Close your eyes and it’s like you’re listening to a Wilburys album. But then open your eyes, and it’s like they’re really there…playing right in front of you!”
