From People magazine: Kenny Chesney Shares His Favorite Memory About Late Friend Jimmy Buffett in New Book

For country icon Kenny Chesney, that was exactly the case. The late Buffett, who died in September 2023, was not only a mentor to Chesney but a lifelong friend, too. Chesney, 57, sat down with PEOPLE ahead of the release of his new book Heart Life Music (out Nov. 4 from William Morrow), in which he writes about what he calls his favorite Jimmy story.

When I went to my first Jimmy Buffet show, I had just moved to Nashville, and I had no money. It was pouring rain, and I was up in the grass  where you go when you cant afford a real seat. But that night changed my life because Id never seen anything like it, for someone to give so much love from the stage and connect with an audience like that.

From Karen Tinker: Fantastic show at the Warf Amphitheater in Orange Beach Alabama on 10/24/2025. Jimmy’s presence was sure felt as the Reefers took the stage and lead the gigantic singalong of favorite songs and extra special was He Went To Paris and When The Coast Is Clear, which was written by Jimmy and Mac in the Gulf Shores area about the Gulf Shores. And even more extra special was Savannah Buffett joining the band on stage for Fins and Ms. Lucy Buffett watching from the second row. The energy and love was sent out from the stage and back all evening long.

The city of Mobile has laid out a first look at the new Jimmy Buffett exhibit coming to the National Maritime Museum in September 2026.

Peter Mayer has been working on a new album called Songs and Stories from the 12-Volt Man with some of his favorite Jimmy Buffett songs. From Peter:  There were his “standard” songs we played every night or be killed. But Jimmy stayed delightfully and irritatingly ADD about wanting to change things up, whether it be an encore, or a surprise last-minute call. Then there were the stop-you-in-your-tracks songs, or even parts of songs that made you say, “Hold on, this guy is a jumper cable, a one-man pandemic wielding his contagious fascination with life.” 12 Volt Man was one of those songs that hit me like that ...
