Adventures In Parrotdise

As Seen On National Tv The World's Greatest Tribute Bands-live At The Whisky A Go Go In Hollywood Nov. 2016.
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. Other Coral Reefer Band members such as Mike Utley and Robert Greenidge may appear depending on their tour schedule with Jimmy. According to the Coral Reefers, Adventures In Parrotdise is “the next best thing to being at one of Jimmy Buffett’s concerts.”
This is the only Buffett tribute show to play an indefinite engagement in a main showroom at a major Las Vegas Hotel/Casino.
