Watch Katie Couric’s Reeferette Debut

August 2nd, 2012


WRTV 6 in Indianapolis has a short video segment on Katie Couric’s appearance at Jimmy’s show on Tuesday night.

“She can sing. So, it could be a career starting move for her,” Buffett said. “I don‘t think it’s going to be a career-ending move for me.”

Couric has other plans. She’ll launch a new daytime talk show titled “Katie” on Sept. 10. Footage from the event will be featured in the new show.

Buffett Rocks Indy with Help of Katie Couric

July 31st, 2012


Jimmy Buffett made his annual trek to Indianapolis on Tuesday night, playing a show at the Klipsch Music Center (formerly the Verizon Wireless Music Center).

You can view the set list from the show here.

Jimmy had some help on a couple songs from Katie Couric:

Couric hung out with Jimmy backstage earlier in the summer at his Mohegan Sun show. At that time she said that she would be doing segments on her upcoming talk show where people check items off their bucket list. After seeing Katie’s enthusiasm for Buffett every time he appeared on the Today Show, it’s safe to say that playing a Reeferette at a Buffett show was probably on her bucket list.

The tour continues Thursday night in Cincinnati. Get your tickets now.

Detroit Welcomes the Lounging at the Lagoon Tour

July 29th, 2012


After years of playing the amphitheater just outside Detroit, Jimmy Buffett was downtown in the Motor City Saturday night for a show at Comerica Park, home of the Tigers.

The Detroit Free Press has a review of the show:

On a delectable July night — 75 degrees when Buffett took the stage just before 10 p.m. — it was a virtual beach trip, a Saturday night staycation for a crowd of 39,000-plus.

Backed by idyllic ocean imagery on massive high-def screens, Buffett and his 11-member Coral Reefer Band rolled through a 2-hour, 10-minute set of hits and enduring fan favorites.

Steel drums, pedal steel guitars and breezy island rhythms rolled under Buffett’s Southern lilt through a series of crowd pleasers: the opening “One Particular Harbour,” a cover of Sam Cooke’s “Another Saturday Night,” the romping “Gypsies in the Palace,” a bouncy “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.” Buffett was joined by Detroit native Earl Klugh — whom he introduced as “one of the great, great jazz guitarists” — for “Jamaica Mistaica.”

Lionel Richie opened the night, playing a 65-minute set of his greatest hits. Richie joined Buffett later for a duet of “All Night Long.”

Miami Heat star Shane Battier was also at the show and filled in on the bongos during “Margaritaville.” Before coming out on stage, Battier tweeted: “About to play Congas @jimmybuffett concert. Oh lord, please don’t let me mess this up.”

He also shot this video from stage:
