Aspen Show Nets $65,000 for Charity

January 10th, 2007


The Freddie and the Fishsticks show in Aspen on December 22nd yielded 65,000 dollars to charity, according to an article in the Aspen Daily News.

Jimmy Buffett’s songs aren’t just the ones you know by heart. They are also the catalyst for a $65,000 donation to charities that are close to his heart.

The margarita master played to a sell-out audience last month at Belly Up Aspen and rather than getting paid for his performance, he asked club owner Michael Goldberg to cut a $10,000 check to the Aspen Valley Ski Club, another $10,000 check to Tipsy Taxi, $5,000 to Lift Up in Aspen, $5,000 to Lift Up in Glenwood Springs and another $35,000 for hurricane relief efforts in Mississippi.

Jimmy Buffett will play a benefit in Tallahassee, Florida on February 10th. The concert at the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center will benefit the United Way of the Big Bend.

The Tallahassee Democrat has more: “Jimmy Buffett coming to Tallahassee”

Civic Center director Ron Spencer told the Civic Center Authority board about the event at its meeting this morning.

“He’s doing this as somewhat of a benefit for United Way (of the Big Bend),” Spencer said.

Land Shark Lager, a beer that Buffett is endorsing, will be introduced at the concert, he said, adding the beer will be available only in Florida or at Buffett’s Margaritaville restaurants.
