Members of Jimmy Buffet’s Coral Reefer Band play St.Pete tribute concert this weekend

There’s no shortage of Jimmy Buffett tributes, but very few of the outings after the late trop-rock pioneers death actually have connections to the legend himself.

Coral Reefer vocalists Nadirah Shakoor and Tina Gullickson (

St. Pete resident and “Coral Reefer #001” Roger Bartlett rounds things out along with John Frinzi who collaborates with Grisham.

Tickets to see A tribute to Jimmy Buffett featuring members of the Coral Reefer Band inside Hough Hall at Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg on Saturday, Jan. 11 are still available and start at $25.
