Anyone know if Jim Asbell is playing a pre-concert show in the parking lot again this year?

Actually one Coral Reefer will be there. The original Coral Reefer-Fingers Taylor.
He's scheduled to play with KD, Hugo and, rumor has it, Asbell that week.

Wow, Jim Morris, Landsharks, Sunny Jim, Stars on the Water, John Frinzi. What a surprise. No new acts AGAIN??

They do have a website but it is totally weird. Here is the url http://www.montyskeywest.com/ Just follow Duval (towards Mallory square) to Caroline, take a right and go about 1-1.5 miles to the Conch Harbor Marina. It is right next to the Half Shell Raw bar. It is a very neat open air bar/restauran...

I'm glad someone else noticed this. How many times can they book the same acts at the Casa. I like the regulars but please get some new blood in there. I thought that since there was new leadership we would get some different shows but it looks like more of the same. I don't want to rant because tha...

Fingers Taylor played in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago with Jim Asbell. Before the song Jim and Fingers were talking about it and Fingers mentioned that this song was written after a show at the old Southeast Music Hall in Atlanta. I asked Fingers why they didn't release it and he said it was just &...

Watch the Wrigley DVD in the Keys. Since the late 90's the show is pretty much the same. You can't beat Key West in February. And yes, the Tiki Bar is a goner. I laid a wreath on my last visit....Head down about a mile on the other side of the island and there is a place called Lorelei. It is the ne...

Jim will be joined by Fingers Taylor for Buffett tribute night at Wild Wing Cafe in Suwanee GA on Saturday, February 10 at 9:00pm

I saw Jim at Cheeseburger last Saturday and he said he's working on finishing his second CD but will be playing a few gigs before leaving on the Parrothead cruise. I've also heard that he will be playing a show with Fingers Taylor at Wild Wing in Suwanee on Feb 10th. There is a Feb 10th show on his ...

Greg usually charges around $1,000 per show plus expenses. I'm not sure about A1A but any band that is as good as they are with 4 or more members is going to be $2,000-$3,000 plus expenses if travel is involved.

For all who are coming in on Wednesday-- There will be a party sponsored by the Atlanta Parrothead Club at the Bull on Wednesday night. It is a combination "Welcome to the Island" and "Parrothead Cruise Reunion" party. This is open to all: Here's the announcement: The party will ...

Friday night was great too. Jim Asbell, Jeff Pike and a lady from Jim's band named Lisa joined KD and Fingers and all were definitely hitting on all cylinders. Alot of us in the crowd were talking about how quiet it got when Jim and Fingers did Pirate Looks at 40. We all had a great time.

Jim will be playing Friday night with Fingers and KD at Cheeseburger.

I know firsthand that Mr Buffett controls EVERYTHING that happens at his concerts. Whether that is right or wrong is your call but he is in charge. No one is excempt. Even the Corona reps in Atlanta were forced at the last minute to cancel the band they had hired for their VIP tent because they hadn...

That will be cool. I'm glad the first part of that rumor (a major act) is true. I hope the part about canceling the pool bands to pay for it is not true though.

Jim Asbell. He usually plays solo with a 'band in a box' but he is great and his shows are usually 100% Buffett music. He also does some gigs in a duo with his keyboard player.

Actually the Cheeseburger in Paradise is in Dunwoody which is about 15 miles north of Lakewood. Directions can be found here: www.cheeseburgerinparadise.com And Lakewood does lock the gates at night. They will open at 9:00 am the day of the show. Atlanta PHC members get in a bit before then but no o...

For those staying in town for the weekend, check out Jim Asbell at Wild Wing Cafe in Suwanee the Saturday after (June 3). Wild Wing is about 30 minutes north of Atlanta but worth the trip. Jim will be there that afternoon probably from 4-7 (about the time we'll all be waking up from the night before...

Thanks for the info. That is great news. Personally, I'm not interested in shelling out $ to see major acts at this event. We pay them enough at their concerts anyway. Do you happen to know if they are booking any new entertainers. I've enjoyed the acts in the past but I agree with photo gal that th...
