For more than 50 years, Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band provided the soundtrack to endless summers, ocean breezes, and carefree good times. What began in 1973 grew into one of the most beloved live acts in American music history. Although Buffett passed away in 2023, he left fans and bandmates with a simple message: “keep the party going.” The Coral Reefer Band proudly continues that tradition with the same passion and energy that made their shows legendary.
Made up of world-class musicians and longtime collaborators, the band is led by Mac McAnally, a ten-time CMA Musician of the Year and Grammy-nominated artist who played a major role in shaping Buffett’s musical legacy both onstage and in the studio. Many members of the Coral Reefer Band have performed together for more than three decades, touring across 40+ tours worldwide and contributing to more than 30 albums. From co-writing Buffett classics to producing much of his iconic catalog—led by McAnally and longtime collaborator Michael Utley—this is more than just a band performing the music. They helped create it.
