A1A – The Official Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show - Since 1992, will drop anchor at S.O.S. Fest and put on a show of Cat-5 proportions. This premiere 11-piece band (plus a couple of pirate performers for good measure) will bring your favorite Buffett tunes to life through a squall of fun and high-energy entertainment. Not only has A1A been officially endorsed by Jimmy himself, but they have even filled in for the Coral Reefer band. Need we say more? Our full music lineup will be announced soon!
Son Of A Sailor Fest began in 2023 as a free impromptu celebration-of-life second line parade and tribute concert, called the Jimmy Buffett Hometown Second Line, immediately following Jimmy Buffett's death. Organized in only seven days with zero budget and limited marketing, the event drew thousands of fans from as far as Chicago, Miami, and San Antonio and dozens of incredible musicians to celebrate Jimmy's life and music in the streets of Mobile, where it all started.
The first annual Son Of A Sailor Festival is a celebration of life, music, and the unique culture of the Gulf Coast. It's a chance for fans to connect to Buffett's roots, champion the Gulf Coast's unique and colorful music and culture, and promote the love for life and coastal attitude that his music embodies. It's a festival that embodies the spirit of Jimmy Buffett's music- a celebration of life, love, and the joy of living.
SECOND LINE
Jimmy often said he was a “child of the Mardi Gras,” which makes sense as Mobile is home to the oldest carnival celebration in the United States. So there is no better way to kick off the party than with a brass band and a parade down the historic streets of Downtown Mobile!
Stay tuned for parade details!
