Event Description

For this one-night-only event, KNOCKED OUT LOADED CONCERTS has organized an incredibly diverse group of over 30 Savannah-area musicians and vocalists who will join forces to uniquely interpret two dozen songs by the five legendary rock and pop artists who made up the late-'80s and early '90s supergroup THE TRAVELING WILBURYS.

A large house band has been created just for this show, which will be joined by at least 20 more special guests throughout the course of the night.

Together, they'll perform a handful of tracks from each of the Wilburys' two beloved albums, along with three additional songs by each of that band's iconic members: TOM PETTY, GEORGE HARRISON, ROY ORBISON, JEFF LYNNE (ELO) and BOB DYLAN.

The Wilburys themselves planned to mount a worldwide tour in 1989 where they would do just that (play tunes from their surprise hit album alongside fan favorites from each of their own solo careers), but the unexpected death of bandmate Roy Orbison forced them to abandon those plans.

Now, many of Savannah's top rock, Americana, blues, soul, R&B and country artists joyfully present an imagined version of what such a tour might have looked and sounded like!

The House Band includes singing guitarists CRAIG JOHANSEN (the Magic Rocks, the 8-Tracks, Hot Pink Interior, the Myth), MATT ECKSTINE (The Accomplices), RAY LUNDY (Bottles and Cans) and BEN KEISER, plus drummers JOSH SAFER (Bottles and Cans, GAM) and JIM REED (Superhorse, the Magic Rocks, City of Lindas, the Eric Culberson Band), along with bassists JON WILLIS (the Myth, Jon Lee & The Apparitions) and ERIC DUNN (the Train Wrecks, Velvet Caravan), and keyboardist PHILLIP PRICE (An Albatross, The Sw!ms, COEDS).

Special Guests (who are confirmed as of this announcement) include: vocalists TRAE GURLEY, AMY OCHOA, CECILIA TRAN ARANGO, STEVEN BAUMGARDNER aka BASIK LEE and LAIKEN LOVE, guitarists KEVIN F. ROSE and HARRY GOELLER, singing guitarists ANDERS THOMSEN, ERIC CULBERSON, JOSEPHINE JOHNSON, TIM THOMPSON, WILL DUNCAN, ERIC BRITT, RAY TOMASINO, MARKUS KUHLMANN, THOMAS CLAXTON, TONY BEASLEY and JASON BIBLE, bassist NATE SARACENO, singing bassist ERIC "BIG E" MOORE, trumpeter JOHN TISBERT, drummer PAUL COOPER, plus more talented folks TBA.

This early show on the night before Thanksgiving is open to ALL-AGES, and is perfectly geared to allow Savannah natives who live elsewhere but may be home for the holiday to catch a ton of the area's favorite performers in one epic concert.

The entire event is being professionally recorded for a potential live CD release, so come be a part of local music history!

We'll also be raffling off some valuable musical instruments from our good friends at Gretsch Drums during the concert.

Following the show, join the musicians for drinks at the fabled ORIGINAL PINKIE MASTERS BAR for our Official Afterparty.

There are several different ticketing options for this show: Standing on the main floor, Regular Seating on the main floor, VIP Seating on the main floor, and very limited Seating / Standing in the Mezzanine overlooking the crowd and stage (which includes a Private Bar and Private Restrooms).

Choose the option that's right for you!

In order to create a more intimate experience for the audience, we are artificially limiting the capacity of Victory North to just over half of the number of people it usually holds. So grab your tickets online ASAP, as it is highly likely this unique will sell out in advance, with no tickets left available on the day of the show.
