In the town that coined the term “parrothead,” Jimmy Buffett announced that he’ll play a show based solely on fan votes.

Midway through the Cincinnati show on Tuesday night, Jimmy said that after the Songs From St. Somewhere Tour ends he’ll head to Hawaii where he’ll play the entire Songs From St. Somewhere Album, and then play a second show where all 27 songs will be decided by online voting. Every song in Buffett’s entire catalog is in the running.

More details as they become available.

What song, out of every Buffett song, would you most like to hear Jimmy sing live?

Sammy Hagar is releasing a new duets album Sammy Hagar & Friends and a Jimmy Buffett tune will make an appearance:

Ronnie Dunn‘s participation in Sammy Hagar‘s upcoming album, ‘Sammy Hagar and Friends,’ was announced weeks ago. Now there’s another country voice added to the star-studded collection. Toby Keith will also join Hagar on the CD of collaborations, performing a duet version of the Jimmy Buffett hit, ‘Margaritaville.’

This isn’t Hagar and Keith’s first time singing together. The longtime friends have shared a stage several times in the past, including this performance of the two music icons singing Van Halen‘s hit song ‘Finish What Ya Started’ while in Cabo San Lucas. More recently, the rocker joined Keith for his Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert, which also included appearances by Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Willie Nelson and John Anderson.

Other artists appearing on Hagar’s upcoming album include Kid Rock, Nancy Wilson from Heart, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Journey guitarist Neal Schon.

It was announced last week that a Margaritaville restaurant would be built in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. But that’s apparently not the only Jimmy Buffett property being built.

Pigeonforgetnguide.com has a photo of a banner that is hanging up at The Island development where the restaurant will be built:

As the banner says, the Margaritaville Island Hotel will feature 132 rooms and a rooftop pool, with an opening in Spring 2014.

Jimmy Buffett was in Rhode Island over the weekend to raise money for the International Yacht Restoration School:

The International Yacht Restoration School raised $885,000 at its annual summer gala on July 6, sponsored by Jaguar and Fidelity Investments. The event included a performance by Jimmy Buffett and his band.

Earl and Elizabeth McMillen of McMillen Yachts were co-chairpersons of the event.

The International Yacht Restoration School has facilities in Newport and Bristol and offers educational programs in boat building and restoration, marine systems, and composites technology.

Jimmy Buffett is performing tonight at his new casino hotel in Bossier City, Louisiana to celebrate the opening of the $197 million project.

Paradise Theater doors open at 4pm CT and the show starts at 5pm CT. You can listen live on Radio Margaritaville.

The Margaritaville casino is all on one level, spread across 30,000 square feet, and features around 1,300 slot machines and 54 table games. 400 rooms occupy the remaining space, along with three restaurants and the Paradise Theater, which seats 900.

It’s the sixth casino in the Shreveport-Bossier area and the first new facility in more than a decade.
