Buffett began his official musical career in Nashville during the late 1960s as a country artist and recorded his first album, Down to Earth, in 1970. During this time Buffett could be frequently found Busking in for the tourists in New Orleans. In fact it was Jerry Jeff Walker who took him to Key West on a busking expedition. He then moved to Key West and began establishing the easy-going beach bum persona for which he is known.
Buffett's third album was A White sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, now acclaimed as his best though it achieved only moderate sales. Havana Daydreamin appeared in 1976, followed by 1977s Changes in Latitudes, Chagines in Attitudes, which featured the breakthrough hit song "Margaritaville" .
During the 1980's Buffett made far more money off his tours than albums and became known as a popular concert draw. He released a series of albums during the following twenty years, primarily to his devoted audience, and also branched into writing and merchandising. In 1985, Buffett opened the first of the "Margaritaville" restaurants in Key West, bringing new visibility and life to the Margaritaville name.
Two of the more unusual albums were Christmas Island, a collection of holiday songs, and Parakeets, a collection of Buffett songs sung by children and containing "cleaned-up" lyrics (like "a cold root beer" instead of "a cold draft beer").
In 1997, Buffett collaborated with novelist Herman Wouk to create a short-lived musical based on Wouk's novel, Don't Stop the Carnival. Broadway showed little interest for the play, so it was instead run for six weeks in Miami. He released the soundtrack for the musical in 1998.
In 2003, he partnered in a partial duet with Alan Jackson for the country hit " It's Fice O'clock Somewhere," a number one hit on the country charts.
Buffett's most recent album, License to Chill, released on July 13, 2004, sold 238,600 copies in its first week of release according to Nielsen SoundScan. With this, Buffett topped the U.S pop albums chart for the first time in his three-decade career.
Buffett continues to tour throughout the year although recently he has shifted to a more relaxed schedule of ~20-30 dates, and never on back to back nights. In fact, he tries to play only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Ticket purchasing is becoming harder and harder each year. All of his concerts sell out in a matter of minutes.
Buffett co-owns the Margaritaville and Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurants. He loves baseball and was part-owner of two minor league teams: the Fort Myers Miracle and the Madison Black Wolf. Between his restaurants, album sales, and tours, he earns an estimated $60-70 million dollars a year.
In 2006, Buffett plans a cooperative project allegedly with Anheuser-Busch to produce his own beer called Lone Palm. Lone Palm was also the title of a song from his 1994 album Fruitcakes. The label of the beer bottle will most likely feature a pirate's map. The seaplane airport at the Orlando Margaritaville restaurant is also called Lone Palm.
Many people when thinking about buying Jimmy Buffett concert tickets put it off, thinking buying tickets is too much work and that they aren't going to get and good seats. However nothing could be simpler, honestly it is thinking its difficult that leads to procrastinating. The easiest way of purchasing Jimmy Buffett concert tickets is by searching Ticketmaster for the artist, writing down the purchase date and remembering to log onto your computer to purchase them as soon as they go on sale. Still many people complain about availability, that too many people are buying at once and they can't get through to purchase a ticket. For many people interested in purchasing Jimmy Buffett concert tickets after the public sale date discover that the shows are sold out and find themselves enabled from finding tickets. There remains hope for those whom have put it off, there are many different service sites that can help you find tickets.
