Sunrise Sports & Entertainment announced that superstar Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will bring their SUMMERZCOOL 2010 Tour to the Bank Atlantic Center for an exclusive South Florida show on Saturday, February 27, 2010.
Jimmy’s latest album, Buffet Hotel (one t), was released in December 2009. The title cut has a strong West African influence and was conceived during a trip to the “Festival In The Desert,” a music festival that takes place annually near Timbuktu, Mali. “It was one of the best musical experiences of my life,” said Jimmy. It was there that Jimmy ran across the Buffet Hotel, an old colonial era train station/hotel which was the venue for the music scene that exploded in Mali after its independence in 1960.
After Jimmy started writing for Buffet Hotel he decided to introduce three of the new songs into his set list. The three were “Summerzcool,” the quintessential beach song, which also became the tour name, “A Lot To Drink About,” a commentary on current events, and “Surfin’ In A Hurricane,” the first surf song Jimmy has ever written.
Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will be at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida on Saturday February 27, 2010.
