ABOUT A1A—The Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show
A1A—The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show was born in 1991 when lead vocalist, guitarist, and keyboardist Jeff Pike invited drummer, harmonica player and founder of the first Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Club, Scott Nickerson to join Jeff's already successful one-man tribute to Jimmy Buffett. In 1992, the band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Margaritaville Records, bringing them to the attention of Jimmy Buffett and his organization.
During its 32-year history, A1A has played to countless high-profile clients, Parrot Heads, and fans nationwide and continues to draw large crowds to their performances. Jimmy Buffett and members of his band, the late Greg "Fingers" Taylor, Mac McAnally, Michael Utley, Robert Greenidge, Peter Mayer, Amy Lee, Nadirah Shakoor, and Tina Gullickson, have all performed with A1A over the years. Greg "Fingers" Taylor and Amy Lee were featured on the band's first two live CDs.
The energy, musicianship, originality, excitement, and continuous honest dedication to preserving Jimmy Buffett'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.
