Join Steven Taylor and me as we chat about what it was like growing up in the house of blues. His Father being Greg "fingers" Talor and His "pops' (stepfather) Kim Wilson are two amazing Blues musicians. I'll say at a young age Steven is well on his way to being one of the greats also. We discuss backstage with JB, growing up with Buffett playing, and maybe a future plan of young Coral Reefer stars. Please follow and enjoy Stevens music as much as I do 

Join Peter Mayer and me to discuss what it's like being a Coral Reefer and writing, performing, and hanging with Buffett.

Enjoy as he plays "woman goin' crazy" and his own hit "the bike ride".

Join Brendan Coyne and me as we discuss coming to the Keys for the first time JJW and JB style. This man did it the correct way. Took his old bike around town and ate his own weight up in crab meat. Brendan is a true classic Buffett fan and supporter. Also is killing it on the food front. Give him a follow @foodiessouthshore

We cover some amazing topics, from mushrooms for two to a Grammy nominee. I promise you won't want to miss this episode.

Join Roger Bartlett and me as we talk about what it was like being the first Coral Reefer on the road with JB. From how he got the gig to touring around nonstop.

I encourage everyone to check out the album Manhattan and look out for his upcoming album being released in early 2021.

A must-read for Parrotheads, casual JB fans, or just Nomads looking for a new read, We chat about the sadness of Margaritaville and the happiness that fifty years of Buffett music brings to so many. I truly look forward to having a beer with Ryan in the near future.

Former Road manager for Buffett, Bob Liberman, and I talk about what it was like being with Jimmy in the 70's and 80's. After his month tour with Bob Dylan he got the call from Jimmy and wild times soon followed. From the BOOM BOOM drinks to flying to Tahiti to find backup singers. You'll laugh every second of this episode I promise you.

Join B-Man, Mi-Shell, and I chat moving to Key West in an RV, Buffett getting margaritas to go and local musicians. You can catch them live weekly on FB and YouTube or just walk into the Key West Trading Company tasting room. Also, I had them play a couple of Buffett songs I love and an original hit " Key West Bound". Enjoy!!!

Join Zach Gill and I talk life. This is a true "stories we could tell" episode. From being blessed by the Godfather of soul to burning your dreams in the backyard. He sat in while Buffett held court at the hotel bar and has crossed paths with Jimmy many times. In all serious Zach is one of my favorite musicians from his work with Jack Johnson, A.L.O, and now his solo career. I love it all. Please enjoy and give his new album Cocktail Yoga a listen.

Join Jay Zuck and I discuss his NJ everything JB garage, his love for classic Buffett and why we don't own the vinyl "down to earth". After 50 shows he finally snapped and moved from lawn to the 2nd row. We agree on almost everything JB except "Big Rig". Forgive the ending when Jay's mic cuts out and I ramble on with my hate for the music scene in Key West.

Amanda Lynn and Tom are a die hard pair of Buffett fans. From ditching a wedding to see JB to yelling at Mac walking down the streets of Key West. Good stories about making sure Amanda's margarita blender is safe and her father being on a live recording of JB at the Exit Inn yelling "why don't we get drunk and screw" Margarita runs in the veins of the entire family.
