Barrie embraced the "gig" and made everyone at the party feel special, and this was especially true for the guest of honor at the party.
Barrie took the time to understand any special needs/requests and went out of his way to help make them happen.
Response from Adventures In Parrotdise:
I had a great time performing at Tom's B-Day party. What a great kid and a HUGE Jimmy Buffett fan. He played his guitar and sang accompanying me on his favorite songs. Thanks for having me, it was worth the 5 hour drive! Let's make it an annual event lol.
Hope you can join me for an encore at the Whisky a Go Go on Nov. 9, 2016.

Barrie Cunningham is a devoted Jimmy Buffett fan who nails all the details right down to using former members of Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. All the hits, all the favorites, all the way Jimmy does them. Some people at the show actually thought he was the real JB. I didn't have the heart to set them straight. Five stars from me.
Response from Adventures In Parrotdise:
Thanks for the review. Hope to see you at another show soon. Fins Up!

Barrie Cunningham has been performing Buffett’s music for almost as long as Buffett himself. He has also traveled many of the same roads and even played some of the same places Jimmy played on his road to fortune and fame. Barrie takes the showgoer on a musical tour. It’s like an “All You Can Eat Buffett.” Barrie sings all the “songs you know by heart” like Come Monday, Cheeseburger in Paradise, Volcano, Fins, Changes in Latitudes-Changes in Attitudes, and the national anthem of all Parrotheads, Margaritaville. He also performs songs Jimmy recorded like Van Morrison’s Brown Eyed Girl, and the CSN’s nautical hit Southern Cross as well as recent hit recordings like his duet with Alan Jackson, It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere and Zack Brown, Knee Deep. Jimmy Buffett Coral Reefer Band members Roger Bartlett, Fingers Taylor, Tc Mitchell, Amy Lee And Doyle Grisham join Barrie and his band to make this the most credible and authentic Buffett tribute show anywhere.
