A1A The Original and Official The Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show

The A1A band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound alike Contest for Margaritaville Records, and the ball started rolling. In 1995, Jeff Pike performed with Jimmy Buffett at Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta, Georgia. The show was recorded and released as Jimmy Buffett Barometer Soup Radio Special. A show, which along with Jeff’s performance, still receives regular rotation on Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville on SiriusXM Radio.

A1A has been extremely instrumental in the fundamental building and growth of the International Parrot Head Club community and the Trop Rock and Coastal Americana Music genres as they are today. They were the first band to repeatedly headline the annual Jimmy Buffett & Meeting of The Minds & Parrot Head Convention, and many more landmark yearly Parrot Head Events. Including the past four years (2017-2020) as the headline act at Music On The Bay. Music On The Bay has been voted the number one Trop Rock Music Festival in America for the past nine years.

The band has played to countless high-profile clients around the nation and continues to draw large crowds to their public performances. Members from Jimmy Buffett band, Greg, Taylor, Mac McAnally, Michael Utley, Robert Greenidge, Peter Mayer, Amy Lee, Nadirah Shakoor, and Tina Gullickson, have all performed with A1A over the years. In 2009 Nadirah Shakoor chose A1A to be her back up band to help promote her Mailboat Records Release, Nod To The Story Teller.

A1A was a part of Jimmy Buffett MTV Video, Fruitcakes. In 2012, Jimmy Buffett was instrumental in landing A1A in the Lions Gate Major Motion Picture Release, What to Expect When You’re Expecting. The band recorded Jimmy classic, Why Don’t We Get Drunk which was included in the movie and on the soundtrack released by Capitol Records. A1A was honored to be requested to perform with Jimmy Buffett and Mac McAnally as their band in private performance at The Masters Open in Augusta, Georgia. A1A closed out The Labor Day End of Summer Beach Bash that same year at The Washington State Fair with Tim McGraw, Kid Rock, and Uncle Kracker.

Today, the band's popularity continues to grow, and with Jimmy Buffett's devastating passing in September 2023, their mission, show, and presence are ever more critical. The energy, musicianship, originality, excitement, and continuous honest dedication to preserving Jimmy Buffet's legacy that has always surrounded a Jeff Pike and A1A performance are an experience and a driving force that has helped the band remain the first, foremost and longest running Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.
