History Lesson


In 1992, after winning a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Records, Jeff Pike and A1A became The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show, now internationally renowned. As the first band ever to showcase a high-energy 4-hour concert composed of nothing except Buffett's best songs, spanning every era of his career, A1A became the only band personally sanctioned by Jimmy Buffett himself. While other bands have followed in A1A's wake and even cited them as their main inspiration, A1A remains the first and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show.

A1A has played many respected venues and shows across the country, including The MGM Grand and The Key Largo Hotel Casinos in Las Vegas; The Gulfport Grand Casino Event Center in Gulfport, Mississippi; The Summit in Houston, Texas; two very special July 4 and July 5 performances for our country at the largest American Naval Base in Yokosuka, Japan; Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville Cafes in Key West and New Orleans; Sloppy Joe's in Miami, Orlando, Key West, Atlanta and Jacksonville; daily shows in Atlanta at the 1996 Olympics; Foxy's on Jost van Dyke; Carlos 'n' Charlie's in Cozumel; Sammy Hagar's Cabo Wabo Cantina in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico; The Green House in St. Martin; The Boatyard in Barbados; The Hotel Milan in Panama; The Maui Ocean Center in Maui, Hawaii; 7 years as the headline act at the now-legendary MOTM Annual Parrot Head Conventions in New Orleans and Key West, a variety of annual Caribbean Parrot Head Cruises dating back to 1995; The Roxy Theater and The Cotton Club in Atlanta, Georgia; plus a long resume of concerts, corporate, festival and pro sporting events. (An added treat included here is that Jeff sings an astounding version of the National Anthem).

Over the years A1A has been joined onstage by several members of Jimmy Buffett's own Coral Reefer Band: harmonica master and now member of A1A, Greg "Fingers" Taylor; saxophonist & horn section leader, Amy Lee; guitarist, Peter Mayer; Music Director and keyboardist, Michael Utley and steel drum virtuoso, Robert Greenidge. Fingers and Amy Lee have both lent their talents to A1A's first two live CD's, the first CD produced by long time Coral Reefer Jim Mayer. Michael and Robert performed with A1A in front of the throngs of "parrot heads" at their annual convention in New Orleans and in Key West. A1A appeared in Jimmy's MTV Video "Fruitcakes" and Jeff's performance with Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band in Atlanta in 1995 was used as a limited edition radio promotion for Jimmy's tour that year.
