Buffett Announces Special Show in Hawaii Where Fans Can Vote for Set List

July 16th, 2013


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?
