Friday evening, The Basement East will present the fifth annual An East Nashville Tribute to The Traveling Wilburys, which benefits East C.A.N. pet rescue. Back in 2021, the venue’s co-owner Mike “Grimey” Grimes had the idea for an annual show paying tribute to rock supergroup The Traveling Wilburys — Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne — and benefiting East C.A.N. East C.A.N. helps find, foster and secure adoptions for stray and abandoned dogs, providing essential vetting and basic supplies. They’ve helped more than 1,000 dogs since the organization was founded in 2008. “It’s a tradition born out of a long-standing Bob Dylan tribute,” Grimes tells the Scene. “We morphed it into Traveling Wilburys.” This year’s show features a star-studded lineup that includes John Oates, Lzzy Hale and Joe Hottinger of Halestorm, Ketch Secor of Old Crow Medicine Show, Robyn Hitchcock, Langhorne Slim, Nicole Atkins, Josh Rouse, Chuck Mead and many more. Once again, Andrew Leahey and The Homestead will play host and serve as the house band. The show will feature not only material from the two albums by The Traveling Wilburys, but also solo material by the band’s individual members.
