The songs, the stories, and the spirit continue this summer as Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band launches the “Keep The Party Going Tour – Presented by Margaritaville.” The 19-date run celebrates the music and community that Jimmy Buffett built across decades of touring and songwriting.
Led by 10-time CMA winner Mac McAnally, the Coral Reefer Band will travel across the United States beginning July 9 at Wind Creek Event Center in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The routing includes stops in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Austin, Boston, and more, bringing the unmistakable island-tinged sound of Buffett’s catalog back to stages across the country.
The Coral Reefer Band has been at the heart of Buffett’s music since 1973. Across more than 40 tours and 30 albums, these musicians helped shape one of the most recognizable live experiences in popular music. Sharing lead vocals on the tour will be McAnally, Scotty Emerick, Will Kimbrough, Peter Mayer, and Nadirah Shakoor, musicians who have spent decades performing alongside Buffett.
The music carries warmth, storytelling, and a laid-back groove that defined a generation of Parrotheads. The tour also supports Buffett’s longtime charity, Singing for Change, continuing the tradition of turning good vibes into real-world support for grassroots organizations.
Before his passing in 2023, Jimmy Buffett shared a simple request with his longtime collaborators. Keep the party going. This summer, the Coral Reefer Band brings that spirit back to the road.
