Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffett has carved out a unique niche as a singer-songwriter thanks to hits like “Margaritaville,” the 1977 hit that is his signature. The easy-going, laidback tune exemplified a sunny Gulf Coast style that has enamored him to millions of “Parrotheads”—the collective name of his devoted fan base. They turn out ecstatically at concert performances that feature famed parrothead classics also including “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” and “A Pirate Looks at Forty.”

Key songs in the Buffett catalog include “Cheeseburger In Paradise,” “Come Monday,” “Havana Daydreamin’,” “Margaritaville” and “Son Of A Sailor.”
