Has anyone here seen a Buffett tribute band called Parrotville? They are playing kinda locally, and I was wondering if it was worth the trip?

Cool, thanks Pirate. By any chance, any BNers planning on attending the 2/28 show in Berwick, PA?

Parrotville will be playing the Staircase in Pittston, PA (between Scranton and Wilkes-Barre) this Saturday on Valentine's Day. The Landlocked Landsharks PHC will be out in force for the show. We will also be selling "hearts" as a fundraiser for the American Heart Association for Valentine's Day. And yes they are worth the trip.

Where are you from, conch? I'm in Ringtown, a bit south of Hazleton.

I live in Clarks Summit, but the PHC is based out of Scranton.

Well, we went to see Parrotville Saturday night. Maybe I just had my hopes set too high, but I was very disappointed with their perfomance. In fact, we left before the end of the first set. Instrumentally, they were decent - the songs more or less sounded like they were supposed to - but the vocals were way off, in my opinion. Christine described it as "akin to fingernails on a chalkboard".

Oh well...live and learn I guess.

Albatross & I have seen Parrotville several times, and have never been disappointed. We've met them face-to-face, they're very good about "mixing" with the audience. They were even cool enough to sign Albie's cast the last time we got to see them :lol: I'm particularly fond of their "Lage Nom Ai", it rocks ! I'm sorry to see that you weren't happy with them. We even know some people who follow THEM around in addition to Buffett :o
