It has been known that it NEVER rains on a Jimmy Buffett concert or showcase. And that statement was proven true last Saturday at Jazzfest. Earlier on Saturday morning, it rained cats and dogs but hours later, a little while before Buffett was slated to appear before a full house at Jazzfest, the dark clouds cleared.
One of the highlights at Jazzfest includes Buffett belting out a memorable acoustic version of “Come Monday”. The crowd was also suitably amused when Buffett spotted a member of the audience wearing a shirt that says “Helping Rebuild New Orleans One Margarita At A Time”, and the jovial crooner instantly offered to swap his own flip flops for that shirt.

Jimmy Buffet, the business tycoon and the king of entertainment, is going to do a spontaneous show at one of his restaurants. The show is scheduled for April 9th at the newly opened Margaritaville restaurant owned by Jimmy Buffet in Glendale, Arizona. The restaurant is located on the southern part of the West Gate City center and is famous for its décor. The show will take place near the fountain area outside the restaurant.
The impromptu show of Jimmy Buffet is expected to begin at 6 p.m and very less crowd is expected for the show as it is not promoted extensively.

Only limited tickets will be sold as it is difficult to accommodate more than 4000 people at the venue. People will get a chance to enjoy the music of his band as well as the food from his restaurant.

Jimmy Buffett and his Coral Reef Band are slated to perform on July 17th at the Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati.
Jimmy Buffett fans have been welcoming him with great love and affection whenever he toured Cincinnati and this year will also be no exception. The ticket prices are a bit on the higher side, with pavilion seats sold at $136 and the lawn spot sold at $36. Many fans are disappointed as the tickets were sold out within 10 minutes of opening of the ticket counter. There is no doubt that Parrotheads will be in full swing during the concert.

The ticket sales for the Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reef Band at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in Houston did not sell at a very brisk pace as expected. There are two concerts that will be coming up in Houston and tickets for both the concerts were sold last Saturday morning. To everyone’s surprise, the tickets for the Buzzfest, a show that brings out the talented young rock stars to Houston annually, was sold within two hours of ticket issue and the Jimmy Buffett concert had hundreds of good seats still available.
Last year, Jimmy Buffett and his Coral Reef Band performed in front of 40,000 packed fans at Minute Maid Park in Houston and the concert was also the biggest draw that was witnessed in the history of Houston. Buzzfest is full day musical festival where fans will be able to see relatively new artists and acts and is a bit cheaper on the pocket as well. Buffett tickets are priced a bit higher and are the highest priced ticket among all the other summer concerts that Jimmy Buffett is undertaking. Buffett will be performing at Houston on the 21st of April and by that time one can be sure that the Parrotheads would have by then purchased all the left over tickets.
