From Keys Weekly: “Buffett starts 2020 with impromptu show at Margaritaville“
The whispered rumors started around midday on Jan. 18. They gathered steam throughout the afternoon and were proven true by 9 p.m., when Jimmy Buffett ducked under his guitar strap and nodded with a smile to members of his Coral Reefer Band.
The Margaritaville mogul took the stage at his own bar on Key West’s Duval Street for his first live performance of 2020.
Buffett and the band had been in Key West recording a new album, “Life on the Flip Side,” for release later this year.
The band played to a packed house of surprised tourists and in-the-know locals who had been on the receiving end of the day’s rumors.
With songs that captured Key West’s simpler times, Buffett serenaded sun-loving locals with the lyrics that lured them here so many years ago, and gave the disbelieving visitors the vacation memories of a lifetime.
And yet still no Calgary shows
Dan Hussey has he ever played in Calgary?
Debbie MacDonald no
It would be nice if he would play more shows in Canada than just Toronto.
Buffett can’t go everywhere.
2 years ago he played Toronto and Vancouver. Last year he played Toronto, Montreal, and St Johns Nfld. He’s doing more shows in Canada now than ever in his career
I saw him in Vancouver in 2017, but we also go to the Vegas shows.
Debbie MacDonald Vegas, Portland, and 3 times in Toronto….
What happened to OCEANS OF TIME ?

I Have Always Loved Jimmy
I have been Listening to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefers since I was 13 years Old! He is my Heart! Anyone who knows me, knows I absolutely Love Jimmy Buffett’s Music! I would So Love to be able to walk up to him and give him a big hug and tell him thank you for all of the many years of his Beautiful Music!!!!
I met Jimmy, years ago here in West Palm Beach at a restaurant called Speak Easy. I was on lunch break with friends from a doctors office I worked with. He had his daughter with him at the time, which I’m sure is grown by now. When we got up to leave, we stopped by his table to chat just a few minutes. We didn’t want to disturb him, but he was so friendly and out going. I liked him even more after that run in with him and his daughter. He’s a very nice man!
