The Rum Punch Bandits hit the stage for the first time in November of 2000 as a Jimmy Buffett tribute band and have since expanded their songlist to include a variety of genres such as beach, classic rock, Tex-rock, gulf-n-western, trop-rock and jam-rock. This seven piece party band includes two electric guitars, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, keyboards/pedal steel, congas/bongos, and drums. All totaled, the members of the Rum Punch Bandits have over 125 years of experience and they still have a great time when performing. Check below for their songlist (ever expanding) as well as several references from previous clients. Their dress for shows is smart-tropicasual. Thank you for considering the Rum Punch Bandits and they hope to see you down the road.
