TRENDING STORIES:

Jimmy released two albums last year. The Parrot Heads had a hand in one of them when they were asked what little-known Jimmy Buffett songs would you like him to revisit? That question, posted on social media, prompted tens of thousands of replies. Once the votes were tallied, Jimmy and his daughter, Delaney Buffett, a filmmaker, started to shoot a new video every week for his website – currently over four million views for the series! Now it’s an acoustic album and a labor of love: Songs You Don’t Know By Heart.

Also, in 2020, Jimmy was inducted into the Mississippi Songwriters Hall Of Fame. “It’s a long way from the Pascagoula run and my early days growing up in Mississippi certainly had an impact on the way I wrote songs and what I wrote about,” said Jimmy. “So, thank you Mississippi for that.”

The last time Jimmy Buffett was in Atlanta was April 30, 2013 at Cellairis Amphitheatre at Lakewood.
