A1A The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show

A1A – The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show was born in 1991. In 1992, the 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’s Barometer Soup Radio Special.” A show, which along with Jeff’s performance, still receives regular rotation on Jimmy Buffett’s “Radio Margaritaville” on SiriusXM Radio.

A1A was a part of Jimmy Buffett’s 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’s 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.

The energy, musicianship, originality, and excitement that have always surrounded an A1A performance is an experience and a driving force that has helped the band remain the first and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.
