The Wilbury Legends
starring lindsay field, sam see & glyn mason
In the late 80s the fresh, fun sound of The Traveling Wilburys came bursting out of our radios. Their instant, world-wide success was no fluke and no surprise, as this mysterious band of ‘unknowns’ was in fact a supergroup formed by some of the world’s most-beloved musicians. Instigated by George Harrison and Jeff Lynne and joined by Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy Orbison, The Traveling Wilburys left their deep mark on pop music history.
Though The Wilburys never played live, their debut album won the 1990 Grammy for Best Rock Performance. Now, THE WILBURY LEGENDS show is coming to the MEMO and traces the careers of these five superstars who united almost by accident to remind the world of the roots of rock ’n’ roll. The show features Wilburys’ songs and many hits by its illustrious individual members.
THE WILBURY LEGENDS show’s music director Sam See, joined by Lindsay Field & Glyn Mason — his compadres from Field See & Mason — have put together a stellar band of top Australian musicians, including drummer Angus Burchall, keyboardist Adrian Scott and bassist Paul Cartwright.
Members of the band have worked with John Farnham, Air Supply, The Seekers, Olivia Newton-John, Sherbet, Ariel, Brian Cadd, Glenn Shorrock, Jimmy Barnes and Black Sorrows.

OLIVER ANTHONY
A singer of the country-folk genre, Lunsford adopted his grandfather's name "Oliver Anthony" as his stage name in homage to the Depression era in which he lived.
Anthony started writing music in 2021, and since 2022 has released music as Oliver Anthony Music.Winston Marshall compared Anthony's performance on his song "Doggonit" —a song which contrasts consumption of insect protein and self-driving cars with Anthony's rural abode— to that of a character from Hillbilly Elegy. His music has been influenced by Hank Williams.
He said he "started getting messages from people saying how much the music was helping them with their struggles in their lives", and that that gave him a purpose. "It made me feel like I wasn't just wasting my time." Anthony had been struggling with mental health issues and alcohol abuse for five years, and according to Twitter user Jason Howerton who had interviewed him, in July 2023 Anthony broke down and promised God that he would get sober if he helped him follow his dream. Around 30 days later, West Virginia music channel radiowv asked him to record a song for its YouTube music channel, and the result was "Rich Men North of Richmond".
Anthony performed a free show at a farmers market in Barco, North Carolina, on August 13, which Anthony opened with the reading of verses from Psalm 37 about evildoers. He was joined by surprise guest Jamey Johnson. That same month, six other Anthony songs ranked in the iTunes top 20, with five of the others in the top 10, including "I've Got to Get Sober", which reached No. 3 on the Apple platform.
"Aint Gotta Dollar", a song about self-reliance without spending money, and ranked Anthony's fourth best by Taste of Country, reached number 1 on the Viral 50 list in Spotify and No. 2 on iTunes. Anthony said that members of the public had reached out to tell him that the song had connected with them powerfully.
In a Facebook post on August 17, Anthony described what he believes to be the reasons for his popularity: "I wrote the music I wrote because I was suffering with mental health and depression. These songs have connected with millions of people on such a deep level because they're being sung by someone feeling the words in the very moment they were being sung. No editing, no agent, no bullshit. Just some idiot and his guitar."
Anthony's second documented public concert, in Moyock, North Carolina, opened in what Billboard described as "a unique fashion", with him reading a passage from the Bible.
