Jimmy Buffett books two September gigs

Jimmy Buffett , who has been touring on-and-off since April, has confirmed plans to play September gigs in the Detroit area and in New York City.

Buffett and his Coral Reefer band are set to play a Sept. 12 concert in Clarkson, MI, as well as a Sept. 14 show at New York's Madison Square Garden. Tickets for the Clarkston show are on sale now; on-sale information hasn't been announced for the New York show.

As previously reported, Buffett is taking a break during the month of July, but returns to the road in August for another short stint of shows. Details are below.

Every concert on Buffet's current tour is airing live on Margaritaville, Buffett's signature Sirius Satellite Radio channel. Each of the commercial-free concerts includes a 30-minute pre-show broadcast from backstage, featuring music and interviews with Buffett or members of his band, according to a press release issued earlier this year.

In April, five new recordings by Buffett--including a cover of the late Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London"--turned up on the soundtrack to "Hoot," a family film that Buffett co-produced.

His latest studio album is 2004's "License To Chill," which features guest appearances by several country artists, including Kenny Chesney, George Strait and Toby Keith. This spring, Buffett called in to Radio Margaritaville and said that he is working on a new album that he hopes to release in the fall.
