Jimmy Buffett Tribute: Tom Watt "The Buffettman" & the Fruitcakes

Not many artists have been able to emulate the success that Jimmy Buffett has had. It’s kind of funny to think such a seemingly laid-back guy was such a brilliant businessman as well. He single-handedly developed Margaritaville Cafe, named after one of his songs, which has expanded to restaurants all across the country. He also created the widely consumed LandShark Lager in 2006, and his brand continues to grow. Buffett, originally from Mississippi, moved to Key West in the early 70s when he began developing the easy-going beach-bum persona he’s fondly known for. Accompanied by the Coral Reefer Band he continued to produce hit after hit like “Cheeseburger in Paradise” and “Come Monday.” Rejoyce parrotheads. The Buffettman & The Fruitcakes are coming to Music Box Supper Club tonight to play all those cheesy(burger) songs you love. (Siegel)
