Jimmy Buffett steers tour to warmer climes
Jimmy Buffett will give his Parrotheads a few more things to cheer about as the singer/songwriter adds new shows in warmer climates to a growing fall trek.
The performer, who is next slated to hit the stage Aug. 30 in Uncasville, CT, has added shows in California, Hawaii and Florida to his itinerary, which currently wraps up Nov. 3 in Tampa, FL. All of Buffett's upcoming dates are listed below. The schedule includes a pair of previously announced engagements, Oct. 20 and 27, at Las Vegas' MGM Grand resort.
Buffett's most recent album, "Live at Texas Stadium," hit stores in April, and captures his May 2004 concert with Alan Jackson and George Strait at the Dallas venue. Buffett released his latest studio album, "Take the Weather With You," in October. That followed 2004's "License to Chill," a collection of country/pop duets that earned the singer/songwriter his first No. 1 record.
"Live in Anguilla," released on both double CD and live DVD, will hit stores Nov. 6. The 90-minute set was taken from Buffett's two March shows on the Caribbean island's Rendezvous Bay resort.
In June, Buffett announced a partnership with Harrahs Entertainment to build the Margaritaville Casino & Resort in Biloxi, MS, near the singer's birthplace of Pascagoula, MS. When completed, according to a press release, the resort will feature 798 rooms, a full-service spa and an island-themed pool area complete with cabanas. According to Buffett's official website, construction on the project has already begun.
