SUMMARY:James & Jimmy: Fire & Rain & Margaritas (Sold Out)
DESCRIPTION:A concert tribute to James Taylor & Jimmy Buffett.\nFor more than 15 years\, The James Taylor Experience(JTE) tribute show has been recreating the look\, feel\, and sound of a James Taylor concert for Taylor fans around the world – a world that was saddened by the recent loss of Jimmy Buffett. \nBuffett and Taylor were good friends who performed together often over the years and sang each other’s songs in various recordings.  They are two of the most beloved and prolific singer-songwriters the world has ever produced.  Fire & Rain\, You’ve Got a Friend\, and Carolina in My Mind are just a few of Taylor’s many hits. Buffett’s Margaritaville and Son of a Son of a Sailor are just two examples of timeless tunes that tell a story straight from Buffett’s adventurous life. \nTaylor paid tribute to Buffett in several of his shows after his passing\, and we feel the same desire to celebrate this extraordinary artist in our show\, bringing the James Taylor Experience together with Parrot Party in a special tribute to the life and music of Jimmy Buffett in this two-act concert performance. \n\nThis event is sold out.\n \n♦ This event will have a cash bar. \n\nRemember to “Round It Up.” Please consider donating when registering for classes or purchasing tickets. Your donation can be as simple as rounding your total to the nearest five or ten dollars — or whatever amount you wish to give. Thank you for your contribution! \n
