Back by popular demand, this unforgettable tribute to the music and spirit of Jimmy Buffett returns to the Palladium this November!
Last season’s celebration brought Parrotheads together for an emotional and joy-filled evening honoring one of America’s most beloved performers. This year, Coral Reefer Band members and friends will reunite on our mainstage in Hough Concert Hall for the largest gathering yet in the Tampa Bay area.
Coral Reefer vocalists Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson, who backed up Jimmy for three decades, will light up the Palladium mainstage. Pedal steel player Doyle Grisham, who first recorded with Buffett on “A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean” in the 70’s, continues be a signature element of the Coral Reefer Band sound.
Joining them is Roger Bartlett, nicknamed “Coral Reefer #001” as he was Buffett’s first road band member, added in Austin, Texas in 1973.
John Frinzi, lead vocalist and guitarist at many memorable Key West Meeting of the Minds gatherings, will also be performing. Adding to the lineup are Vinnie Seplesky of the Mad Beach Band on bass, Rich McDonald on drums, and Robin Swanson on keyboards.
This is a tribute to the music and spirit of Jimmy Buffett that you won’t want to miss. Last season’s show sold out early – be sure to get your tickets in advance!
