A1A – The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show
was formed in 1991 when lead vocalist and guitarist Jeff Pike invited Scott
Nickerson, founder of the first Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Club, to join his 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. Starting in 1992, A1A was the first band to
perform at and repeatedly headline the annual Jimmy Buffett 'Meeting of The Minds'
Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Convention and many other national landmark yearly
Parrot Head Events, which laid the foundation for the fundamental building and
growth of the National Jimmy Buffett fan base, Parrot Head Club community and the
Trop Rock and Coastal Americana Music genres as they are today.
Today, the band's popularity continues to grow, and with Jimmy Buffett's
devastating passing in September 2023, their mission, show, and presence are ever
more important. 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 and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in
history. Come and hear all the hits by Jimmy Buffett including Margaritaville,
Cheeseburger in Paradise, It’s Five O’clock Somewhere, Fins, and many more!
