2009 Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffett’s 2008 Year of Still Here Tour was such a hit that he’s back again in 2009, this time with the Summerzcool Tour. Apparently Parrotheads just can’t get enough of him, because tickets are flying off the shelves. There’s no substitute for hearing such hits as “Margaritaville” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise” performed live, so don’t wait, get your tickets to Jimmy Buffett’s Summerzcool Tour, grab a margarita and enjoy the show!

Singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett has translated his easygoing Gulf Coast persona into more than just a successful recording career -- he has expanded into clothing, nightclubs, and literature. He is the author of several books, including the novel "A Salty Piece of Land," which centers around one character, Tully Mars (the cowboy who visited the ocean, from "Tales from Margaritaville") published in November 2004. But the basis of the business empire that keeps him on the Fortune magazine list of highest-earning entertainers is his music.

Buffett moved to Nashville to try to make it in country music in the late '60s. Signed to Barnaby, he released one album in 1970, Down to Earth, from which the socially conscious single "The Christian?" suggested he might be more at home protesting in Greenwich Village. Instead, he moved to Key West, FL, where he gradually evolved into the beach bum character and tropical folk-rock style that would endear him to millions.

Note: A common misspelling of Jimmy Buffett is Jimmy Buffet, so make sure you spell it right or you'll get no Cheeseburger in Paradise!
