Jimmy Buffett’s 2009 Summerzcool Tour resumes tonight with the first of two shows at the Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, New Jersey. Besides a performance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival last Saturday, Buffett has been off since May 21st.

The show will start shortly after 8 pm ET and you can listen live on Radio Margaritaville on Sirius 31 / XM 55 or on the web for free at radiomargaritaville.com. Be sure to tune in at 7:30 pm for the pre-show.

Billboard has posted a video on YouTube of Jimmy singing parts of “Why Don’t We Get Drunk” and “Piece of Work” at the Bonnaroo Music Festival on Saturday:

Jimmy Buffett performed today at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Tennesse. He played with Ilo and the Coral Reefer All Stars.

Spinner.com has a short review:

In what was billed as “Ilo & and the Coral Reefer Allstars,” none other than the Coral Reefer himself, Jimmy Buffett made a surprise appearance in a show at high noon on Saturday, the third day of Bonnaroo. Truth be told, it wasn’t all that surprising given the rumors of his appearance leading up to it but it was still a treat for Bonnaroo fans to wake up to the sounds of ‘Margaritaville.’

“Well, it may not be the breakfast you’re used to, but we’re going to serve it,” Buffett told the crowd — hardly a traditional Parrothead audience — as he launched into ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise.’ Running through several other classics and covers of the Grateful Dead’s ‘Scarlet Begonias’ and Van Morrison’s ‘Brown Eyed Girl,’ Buffett was mainly here to introduce his new protégé and discovery, Ilo Ferreira, a musician he found in an African cantina while en route to Mali a couple years ago.

On top of that, Buffett told reporters backstage that he wanted to keep track of his kids, who were here to see Phish and enjoy the festival. Speaking of Phish, Buffett fell asleep listening to the jam band’s set on his bus last night to get ready for today’s, um, early performance. “At Bonnaroo,” he told Spinner backstage, “noon feels like eight in the morning.” Top of the day to you, campers.

Jimmy Buffett will perform at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, TN (60 miles southeast of Nashville) today at noon on the Which Stage. He’ll join Ilo and the Coral Reefer All-Stars.

Tickets are available here.

The Honolulu Star Bulletin has an article on the Honolulu Surfing Museum, which was bankrolled by Buffett and is located adjacent to Jimmy Buffett’s At The Beachcomber restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The term “museum” is stretched pretty thin these days – a traditional museum is a hallowed, hushed sanctuary of artifacts, a library of reality, where you go to learn, to experience the real thing firsthand.

The Honolulu Surfing Museum, on the other hand, “isn’t so much about scholarship,” explains curator Mark Fragale. “We’re about fun!”

Being “about fun” pretty much sums up Jimmy Buffett’s entire business philosophy, and the parrothead entertainer bankrolled the site as an adjacent attraction to his Jimmy Buffett’s Restaurant at the Beachcomber Hotel in Waikiki.

“Everything in here is from the personal collection of Mr. Buffett’s,” explained Fragale, a well-known surfing collector himself. “It began when he acquired the original surfboard used by Robert Duvall in ‘Apocalypse Now,’ and the owner had connections to the Santa Barbara Surfing Museum in California. Buffett also picked up the original balsa surfboard broken up in ‘Ride the Wild Surf’ and many other things from Santa Barbara. Jimmy Buffett has an incredible affinity for surfing and Hawaii culture, and he bought everything needed for the museum is one swell foop.”
