From KeysWeekly: IN PICTURES: JIMMY BUFFETT’S CORAL REEFER BAND KEEPS THE PARTY GOING
When Jimmy Buffett passed away in 2023, his instructions were clear: “Keep the party going.”
His fans and his band are doing exactly that.
Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band packed the Coffee Butler Amphitheater in Key West on Jan. 16, singing along with treasured summer songs while sipping margaritas and more.
What began in 1973 evolved into one of the most beloved live acts in American music history.
From timeless classics to fan favorites, this show offered everything Buffett fans love — great songs, incredible musicianship and the unmistakable island energy that brings people together with warmth and enthusiasm.
The onstage talent included Mac McAnally, Robert Greenidge, Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer, Roger Guth, Doyle Grisham, John Lovell, Eric Darken, Mick Utley, Nadira Shakoor, Tina Gullickson, Scotty Emerick and Will Kimbrough.
Rams Head Presents turned the Coral Reefer concert into a full weekend of events, including a welcome happy hour at the Southernmost House on Jan. 15, a tailgate party before the concert featuring Scott Kirby & Friends at Rams Head Southernmost and a “recovery pool party” the morning after the concert at the Beachside Resort.
