Paying tribute to The Traveling Wilburys – a collaboration of stars George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and Jeff Lynn – The Trembling Wilburys are anything but nervous when they’re onstage playing the biggest hits and deep cuts of the all-star band.

The Traveling Wilburys formed in 1988 after a casual collaboration to fill a B-side single release for George Harrison. They sounded so good they formed the group and released a Grammy-winning album. Their hits include “End of the Line” and “Handle with Care.”

The group's name derived from the nickname for faulty recording equipment that caused Harrison to joke, “We'll bury 'em in the mix.” They initially considered The Trembling Wilburys, then chose Traveling instead. The new Trembling Wilburys have a different story, though.

Muggsy Lauer of Collective Unconscious and the George Mauer Group; Grant F. Haake and John Tetrault, both of The Revolution 5; Mark “Hazzy” Hasbrouk of Blimp and Strns Co. Pachanga Society; Jeff Lee of The Receders and Nelson Lee; Karl Van Beckum of Monday Night Jazz; and Mike Anderson of Monday Night Jazz and Collective Unconscious Pet Sounds make up The Trembling Wilburys, though for the performance they’ve all assumed half-brother personas.

Here's the story:
The Wilbury clan was a group of traveling musicians, minstrels, if you will, who, with the advent of radio and “popular music” began to die out. The last known survivor of the Wilbury clan, Charles Truscott Wilbury, Sr., refused to go quietly into the night. Continuing in his people’s proud tradition, Charlie Wilbury Sr has traveled the world for decades bringing joy and music wherever he travels, and leaving… offspring. Striking out to pay homage to their older brothers, the St. Cloud musicians found themselves a bit nervous, as The Traveling Wilburys cast quite a large shadow. Thus were born The Trembling Wilburys.
