ARTIST BIO
A1A – The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show was born in 1991. In 1992, the band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Margaritaville Records, and the ball started rolling. In 1995, Jeff Pike performed with Jimmy Buffett at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia. The show was recorded and released as "Jimmy Buffett's Barometer Soup Radio Special." A show, which along with Jeff's performance, still receives regular rotation on Jimmy Buffett's "Radio Margaritaville" on SiriusXM Radio
A1A has been
extremely instrumental in the fundamental building and growth of the
International Parrot Head Club community and the Trop Rock and Coastal
Americana Music genres as they are today. They were the first band to
repeatedly headline the annual Jimmy Buffett 'Meeting of The Minds' Parrot
Head Convention and many more landmark yearly Parrot Head Events. Including the
past four years (2017-2020) as the headline act at 'Music On The Bay.'
'Music On The Bay' has been voted the number one Trop Rock Music
Festival in America for the past nine years.
The band has
played to countless high-profile clients around the nation and continues to
draw large crowds to their public performances. Members from Jimmy Buffett's
band, Greg "Fingers" Taylor, Mac McAnally, Michael Utley, Robert
Greenidge, Peter Mayer, Amy Lee, Nadirah Shakoor, and Tina Gullickson, have all
performed with A1A over the years. In 2009 Nadirah Shakoor chose A1A to be her
back up band to help promote her Mailboat Records Release, 'Nod To The Story
Teller.'
A1A was a
part of Jimmy Buffett's MTV Video, 'Fruitcakes.' In 2012, Jimmy
Buffett was instrumental in landing A1A in the Lions Gate Major Motion Picture
Release, 'What to Expect When You're Expecting.' The band
recorded Jimmy's classic, 'Why Don't We Get Drunk,' which was included
in the movie and on the soundtrack released by Capitol Records. A1A was honored
to be requested to perform with Jimmy Buffett and Mac McAnally as their band in
private performance at The Masters Open in Augusta, Georgia. A1A closed out The
Labor Day End of Summer Beach Bash that same year at The Washington State Fair
with Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, and Uncle Kracker.
The energy,
musicianship, originality, and excitement that have always surrounded an A1A
performance is an experience and a driving force that has helped the band
remain the first and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.
Let A1A make your concert, festival, private, or corporate event an experience that people will be talking about for a long time to come.
