The Times-Picayune has a great writeup of Jimmy Buffett’s performance at JazzFest on Saturday night:

Buffett’s island style lent new significance to typical Jazz Fest sights and smells: the beach balls that bounce through the crowd at the Acura Stage, the beach towels spread throughout the Fair Grounds, the coconut scent of suntan lotion that floats in the air. Typical Jazz Fest attire – the flip-flops, straw hats, bikini tops, tropical shirts – seemed even more appropriate as Buffett made the crowd feel like a beach must be nearby, somewhere just beyond the massive crowd. Maybe the ocean view is blocked by those tall guys with the parrots atop their hats?

But never mind that. Nothing matters when Buffett starts singing about pirates and sailors, cheeseburgers and margaritas. He starts strumming and you can practically smell salt in the air, hear waves sloshing against the shore.

Buffett’s performance will be streamed this evening at rollingstone.com/jazzfest.

Jimmy and the Coral Reefers are scheduled to appear in the May 8th New Orleans Jazz Fest broadcast!

After a chilly night in St. Louis on Tuesday, Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band took the Welcome to Fin Land Tour south to Houston, Texas.

Jimmy broke out a few more gems for the show, including “Railroad Lady,” “Door Number Three,” “Making Music for Money,” and appropriately, “Cinco de Mayo in Memphis.” Buffett finished the show with a solo acoustic version of “Death of an Unpopular Poet.”

View the full set list here.

Next on the schedule is a performance at the legendary New Orleans Jazz Fest on Saturday. Then Jimmy takes two weeks off before returning to the state of Texas for a show at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
