Jimmy Buffett joined Lukas Nelson on stage Tuesday night at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. Buffett noted that he hadn’t played at the Troubadour in over 40 years!

from Jambase:

Lukas Nelson & Promise of The Real played The Troubadour in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Nelson and his band were joined by a number of guests including Jimmy Buffett and members of Lucius.

Buffett led Lukas Nelson & Promise Of The Real on his beloved 1977 classic “Margaritaville.” Jess Wolfe and Holly Laessig of Lucius contributed backing vocals.

Lukas Nelson is the son of Willie Nelson.

Lifelong Saints fan Jimmy Buffett performed the national anthem on Sunday before the NFC Championship game between New Orleans and the Los Angeles Rams. After the anthem, Buffett dropped the mic and walked off.

The New Orleans Saints play this Sunday in the NFC Championship against the Los Angeles Rams in the Superdome and one of New Orleans’ favorite sons will perform the national anthem:

It’s not like New Orleans Saints fans really need much help getting amped up for Sunday’s NFC Championship tilt against the Los Angeles Rams at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.

But they’re going to get it anyway, and from some noteworthy performers.

Inside the Superdome, Gulf Coast native and Saints superfan Jimmy Buffett — who has not only attended Saints games and practices in the past but has also had Saints head coach Sean Payton perform with him on on-stage — will perform the National Anthem before the game.

This is not the first time Jimmy will sing the national anthem at a Saints game. He last did the deed in 2006.

The NFC Championship game will air at 3:05pm ET on Fox.
