“I love playing with the Beach Bums!” - Jimmy Buffett

Prepare for the snow to melt when the tropical sounds of Caribbean rock, reggae, and calypso are combined with your favorite songs by Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley, Paul Simon and more.  From steel pans and blaring horns to strong percussion and skanking guitars, it’ll be hard not to get up from your seat to dance and sing along to “Margaritaville” and other Parrothead favorites.

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while.  A lot has been going on with the Holidays and all.

Johnny found a new day job,  Ian just got back from Florida, Trucker is getting ready for Trinidad (for a whole month… we’re all jealous), Tyler is wrapping up school,  Joe M. is keeping it smooth, and Joe A. is debating on which cartoon was better G.I. Joe or Transformers?

Just kidding all… sorta.

Anyhow,  the Beach Bums will be hanging out at CD & ME tonight.  We’ll have a new face in the band on the keys.  Mike Parks will be joining us tonight tickling the ivory!  If you see him tonight, stop by, shake his hand, or by him a beer.   Don’t tell Mike I’m trying to work in some free beer for him!!

In addition, I will be filming tonight’s show for my cousin, currently stationed in Afghanistan.  He requested to see the Beach Bums so, we’re gonna film it for him so feel free to drop by and say hi to him and other troops in stationed over seas.

We hope everyone’s holiday season is going well thus far.  Please feel free to reach out and hug your Beach Bum today… tis the season!

Keep warm everyone, hope to see ya soon!

This YouTube video was sent to us via e-mail and we wanted to share this with you guys as well. Johnny and I started to reflect on the fun moments of that day, and we hope you will too!  Enjoy!

Hi all,

We’re getting ready to gear up for the Jimmy Buffett Show at Alpine Valley this weekend.  I can’t think of no better way than to prepare for a Buffett Show than with fellow Parrotheads!   So if you happen to be in the Alpine Valley / Lake Geneva, WI area… then I invite you to hang out with us over at Hemmingway’s Port Of Call.   We’ll also be hanging out with some of our friends:  Mr. Meyer’s, Nixon Omollo & the Survivors, and South of Disorder.

I know of at least two or three buffettnews.com people that will be there.  I haven’t seen these 2 buffettnews-ers in a long time!  Hemmingway’s will also be having a Pig Roast, BBQ chicken, grilled shrimp, and (of course) cheeseburgers!

Oh and… ummm… if you get a chance, ask Johnny about his awesome home video from one of our shows at Hemmingway’s!   He’ll get a kick out of it! 

Hope to see you guys there!

Hi all,

With the new web server, I ended up having to upgrade our blog page.  Feel free to drop in and take a look at the new BUM TIMES.  You may see a few old performances we did in the past show up on the front page.

Let me be the first to say, we’re not trying to brag or anything like (althought it was an awesome time!), I am simply restoring some important items out of the old database.

Please bear with me/us during our site upgrade.  So, kick back a cold one, and we’ll see ya soon!
