RICH HARDESTY Indianapolis, IN **************

Jimmy Buffett has inspired me through song to go out and find my Margaritaville. I found that at the Pickled Parrot in Negril, Jamaica. I have been to Jamaica about 25 times and love to sit on the cliff at the Pickled Parrot at the west end of Negril drinking Red Stripes, watching the sun-set, and writing songs while talking with my Jamaican friends Rudy, G-Dog, Courtney, Zuga and Horace. I love the Patois (broken English) language and listening to them talk puts me in a zone. The owner at the Pickled Parrot loves to play Jimmy as well as some of my CDs. I remember hearing "Tin Cup Challice" and "Trying to Reason with Hurricane Season" at the Pickled Parrot and getting that eerie feeling of relaxation and peace. This bar looks out over the area where (Jamaicans say) Jimmy's plane had to land after getting shot at by the Jamaican police. Many of the locals have a story of their own, but every time I hear "Jamaica Mistaica" I think of Jimmy and his friends tree top flying over Negril. The closest I had ever gotten to that was a trip to Negril in October of 1999. I took a small Piper from Montego Bay to Negril. I usually take a taxi but that time I wanted to see what Negril looked like from a small plane. I have been writing and singing songs for ten years. I would have never done it if I had not listened to Jimmy as a kid and took my guitar to college with me. At this point in my life, I am single and have no children so it is easy for me to experience a Jimmy Buffett lifestyle. When I see an open weekend I take off to Jamaica or drive around the state of Florida for inspiration to keep writing songs and pumping out CDs. I consider myself the ultimate parrothead when I am traveling through the mountains of Jamaica on a 175 dirt bike with my guitar on my back chasing my Margaritaville dream. I also have a bunch of parrothead friends and thousands of us have gone to Negril many times where I have performed Buffett songs as well as my originals. I hope some of you enjoy my web site and music. It never would have happened without the influence and vibes that I got from Jimmy Buffett.

JIM HOEHN Milwaukee, WI **************

"SIX STRINGS, FIVE FINGERS, THREE CHORDS, NO PROBLEM!" This has become the mantra of Wisconsin sportswriter turned touring musician Jim Hoehn. Just five years ago, Jim won a local talent contest and received a chance to play at Summerfest (a large Wisconsin music festival). With the contest award came a chance to record a demo tape. Dubbed the "'91 Clerical Error Tour," Jim started playing his songs around the Milwaukee area and received quite a response from the barroom crowds. Jim's witty songwriting and his no-nonsense, acoustic sound is much inspired by the works of Jimmy Buffett and Jerry Jeff Walker. Although he still works full-time as a sportswriter, Jim has found enough time to get away from his desk long enough to record two albums. Jim's first CD entitled "Playa Del Pressbox" is a collection of 12 original tunes recorded with a full studio band. On his follow-up album "Live at RACAfest," Jim joins his touring partner Kevin Mulvenna for a stipped-down acoustic live set of some of their original tunes plus a handful of covers of songs from Jimmy Buffett, Steve Goodman, Pat Dailey, and others.

LEE HOWARD Rocky Mount, NC **************

I've been playing music for as long as I can remember. My parents put me in piano lessons when I was young, and in the 6th grade, I started playing the trumpet in the school band. I stayed in the school band through high school, picking up different instruments along the way: the saxaphone, the drums and, finally, the guitar. I'd practice the guitar until my fingers were sore, put it down for a few minutes, then I'd be back at it again. One of the first songs I learned to play was "He Went To Paris," written by Jimmy Buffett, which I got from a Waylon Jennings album released about the time "Margaritaville" hit the air waves. "Margaritaville" struck a note with me because I've been fascinated with island life and the tropics for as long as I've been in music. I've played in rock bands, country bands and, being from western Kentucky, I've played some bluegrass, too. But I was always drawn back to the music of Jimmy Buffett. Maybe it's because we both grew up in the South, went to Catholic schools, became altar boys and dreamed of tropical paradises. There is something about Jimmy's music that just fits me. So, over the years, I've learned more and more of his songs. It seemed like the more "Buffett" I played, the more people wanted to hear. Then, one night someone said, "You probably play more of Buffett's songs than Jimmy himself." Now I perform as a solo act using the modern technology of midi and computers as my band. I've moved to North Carolina and hang out at the beaches and islands in the summer, playing music and having a blast. Seems like everybody's a Parrothead when they're near the ocean!

ISLAND TIME Orlando, FL **************

Steve and Dawn Hendrickson have been playing music together for over 10 years. They received their formal musical training at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where they both studied under members of the Florida Symphony Orchestra. While working as yacht captains throughout the Caribbean, they learned about steel drums and had their first set custom made in Trinidad. What makes this band so unique is the fact that both members play steel drums as well as a variety of other instruments. The primary focus is two beautiful sets of "double tenor pans", which impart a Caribbean ambiance to every song. Add a touch of flute, guitar and percussion, and you've got the recipe for Island Time.

BOB KARWIN San Diego, CA **************

Bob Karwin began his career 10 years ago playing to drunken mobs in the Irish pubs of Boston. Armed with only a guitar and a microphone, he learned quickly how to tame an unruly audience powered by Guiness and Jack Daniels. At the same time, he began to carve out a name in the rock & roll market as the front man of a local band called Traveler. Their originals, fueled by funky rhythms and quirky lyrics written by Bob, made them a favorite around clubs and colleges throughout New England. In 1997, finally fed up with the cold weather, Bob moved west to San Diego. Again, armed only with his guitar and microphone, he hit the coffeehouse circuit playing a new batch of original songs. He paid the bills by bartending in Pacific Beach and doing stand-up comedy throughout Southern California. Today, Bob is known as an exciting live performer who offers fun, upbeat songs spiced with humor and plenty of energy. He has been compared to Jimmy Buffett, James Taylor and the more contemporary acts, BareNaked Ladies and Matchbox 20. Recent highlights include airplay for his song "California Sunshine" on Jimmy Buffett's internet radio station, Radio Margaitaville, and sharing a bill with BareNaked Ladies at the Volkswagen Drivefest 2000 in Anaheim. Bob has just released his first full-length CD, "A Little Something For Everyone." It contains 10 original tunes ranging from the alt-pop "Here You Are" to the swingy "California Sunshine." As the title says, the mix of musical styles truly provides "a little something for everyone," no matter what their musical taste. Bob is now touring to support the CD. Book him and see the power of a voice, a single guitar and a microphone.

KEN KEEFOVER Mobile, AL **************

I was born at the US Naval base in Kenitra, Morocco. A wonderful port city between Rabat and Tangiers. After traveling the world many times, I now live at the entrance to Mobile Bay on the Gulf coast of Alabama, USA. I began writing out of a sincere desire for creative endeavor. While I admit I really prefer the solo songwriter style of 70's pop artists like James Taylor, Jim Croce & Jimmy Buffett, I am always looking for new ideas to capture in song.

KEY WEST - THE BAND Port Arthur, TX **************

"What happens when Animal House meets Margaritaville." Welcome to the world of Key West - The Band! Sunny Gulf Coast beaches, sailboats and surfboards, oysters on the half shell, and funky little pirate beer joints. That�s what the band Key West, and their music, is all about! Key West - The Band first washed ashore in 1993, near the coastal town of Port Arthur, Texas. The idea for the band was hatched in the mind of lead guitar player Jerry Diaz. A longtime fan of recording artist Jimmy Buffett�s music and lifestyle, Diaz incorporated that into a Gulf Coast version. Since the initial inception, the band has successfully combined elements of Buffett�s music with zydecajun, calypso, and latin influences, to create what they fondly refer to as "Caribbean Rock-n-Roll". The bread and butter of Key West�s performance schedule over the years has been club venues. The band has performed at such places as Carlos and Charlie�s, the Margaritaville Caf�, the Flora-Bama, and the Tropical Isle, to name just a few. Key West - The Band has also become a staple at many festivals throughout the South and Southeast, as well as performing at many corpororate, private, and fraternity parties.

THE KEY WEST BAND Roanoke, VA **************

THE KEY WEST TRIO New Haven, CT **************

When Jimmy Buffett isn't available, try the next best thing -- a live performance by KEY WEST TRIO! Tom, Ed and Joe have been in the biz since the bad ol' days, playing rock and roll music and adapting Jimmy's songs to their repertoire, which also includes Beach Boys, Sweet Baby James, Caribbean stuff, some reggae Beatles music and Elvis! KEY WEST TRIO is famous for covering any artists they choose, from Roy Orbison, Elvis, Harry Belafonte, Bob Marley and The Beatles to Del Shannon, Freddie Cannon and Paul Anka. Jimmy Buffett was a challenge, with his fabulous Coral Reefer Band, horns, steel drums and vibes. So, KEY WEST TRIO did the next best thing -- they bought all sorts of gear and gadgets, steel-drum keyboards, fuzziolas, rikitikitavis, rumatumtums, Aloha shirts, and handmade maracas. They studied and rehearsed, and one day (ta-ta-ta-ta ta-ta!) they introduced KEY WEST TRIO to the world, featuring the best of Jimmy Buffett, some old, some new (including selections from Fruitcakes, Banana Wind, Don't Stop The Carnival and Beach House on the Moon!). They had only one requirement among them -- they had to sound like Jimmy and the CRB -- and they DO! Once you've seen KEY WEST TRIO in person, you'll agree (as do their loyal fans!!) that they're the next best thing to a live concert with Jimmy Buffett, or the Beach Boys or other famous troubadors. But you need to see KEY WEST TRIO and hear 'em for yourself! You need KEY WEST TRIO and they need you! Let's keep up the Mardi Gras party spirit all year long! Bring your noisemakers, maracas and tambourines and join the KEY WEST TRIO Conga Line at their next gig!

KALAI KING Los Angeles, CA **************

It would be unfair to label Kalai King as an Alt-Country artist. It seems in vogue to call anyone who plays acoustic guitar and has a straightforward rock & roll approach, Y'Alternative. When you give a listen to his music, you'll notice a wide variety of influences. "Americana" would not be an unfair label to attatch to him, with much of his material lending resemblance to early Jimmy Buffett, Gram Parsons, and Bruce Springsteen. His songs are stories. Not the sanctimonious kind that weigh you down and make you want to loathe the whole early 70's singer/songwriter movement. No, his disguise themselves in engaging melodies and those ever lauded "great hooks." And he has super powers, too. With a sense of humor, quirky anecdotes, and laid-back conversation, Kalai has the ability to lower a stage to the level of his audience, and dissolve the wall that many performers hide behind. Seeing him play is like hanging out with your guitar-pickin' buddy. Equally adept with a poignant epilogue as he is with the, "Yo, bro, this song kicks ass," kind of rocker, Kalai's strong songwriting and lyrical approach ring both familiar and unique. Couple that with his virtuosity with a harmonica, and you have a terrific live show. But the first thing that strikes you is his voice. Not twangy or affected, yet not clearly polished either, it lies in the hinterland that invokes memories of Jim Croce. Mix that with the gruff energy of Lowell George and you have a genuine singer who doesn't come off sounding like a man who just finished smoking twelve packs of whiskey-flavored cigarettes. Kalai spent his first few years after high school graduation playing the east coast bar circuit as a solo acoustic performer and failing out of music school, where he studied opera. His first release, 1993's "Unplugged & Unknown" went Aluminum after selling the meager 2,000 copies that were produced. "I was flat busted and couldn't afford to make any more (copies). I mean, I was jumping behind the bar between sets to cover my tabs," Kalai recalls. "There was no money in playing original music at the time, so I bit the 'Silver Bullet' and hit the road as a 'cover-interpreter,' playing about thirty shows a month. One night I'd be at a beach bar opening for Chubby Checker, faking old-school R&B tunes, the next, I'd be behind chicken wire in Berlin, Maryland, doing my best Blues Brothers impression. They didn't make that shit up, you know!" Assembling a band in 1997, Kalai toured the east coast, once again performing his original material. Finding success with AAA radio play and a burgeoning fan base that resulted in sold-out shows up and down the eastern seaboard, Kalai decided to take the plunge, quit his job, and attempt the impossible. When opportunity presented itself in the form of film scoring and an appealing music scene (not to mention warmer pastures), Kalai, along with drummer Jeff Bell, moved to Hollywood, California in the winter of 2000. Currently finishing demos for a new record, Kalai has picked up an agent, formed a new band, and is showcasing around Los Angeles.

SCOTT KIRBY Key West, FL **************

Scott Kirby spent most of the eighties working as a political consultant in his native state of New Hampshire as well as playing a few solo gigs on the weekends. In 1988, he left his job, packed his guitar, cashed his last three paychecks and headed for the Florida Keys to take a break from both the real world and the bitter New England winters. Twelve years later, Scott finds himself performing close to 200 dates a year, splitting his time between Key West and �the road,� and working on material for his next CD. A fingerstyle guitarist and singer/songwriter, Kirby�s musical style weaves from pop to acoustic rock to what he refers to as �beach folk.� His lyrics are often storytelling in nature, much in the style of Steve Goodman or Jerry Jeff Walker and reflect the humor of someone who fled traditional New England for the laid-back and zany lifestyle of America�s southernmost island town. While home in Key West, Scott performs regularly at the Hog�s Breath Saloon and occasionally at The Pier or Jimmy Buffett�s Margaritaville Caf�. He is also an annual participant in the Key West Songwriter�s Festival where he has recently shared the stage with some of America�s finest songwriters, including Keith Sykes, Mac McAnally, Gretchen Peters, Chuck Cannon, Pat Alger, Chuck Jones and Stephanie Smith. Scott released �Too Damn Yankee,� his debut CD of original music, in 1993 and his second recording, �Grand Bar Schemes,� was released in 1997. In 1999, Kirby released �Walkin� On Thin Ice� on Little Flock Records and all three recordings are available through AMAZON.COM, CDBABY.COM and from Little Flock. Scott is currently working on material for his next CD, entitled �Four Good Dogs, which is due to be released in 2001 on Little Flock Records.

In Novenmber, 1998, Jimmy Buffett made a surprise appearance with The Landsharks at The Parrotthead National Convention in Key West, Florida, and performed with The Landsharks. After hearing that The Landsharks were based in Orlando, Florida, Jimmy hired the band "on the spot" to perform at his new Margaritaville Cafe in Orlando. They have been performing there ever since.

AMY LEE Atlanta, GA **************

You know her as the lovely and dynamic sax player with Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefers and the co-author of such JB favorites as: "Delaney Talks To Statues," "Bob Robert's Society Band" and "Fruitcakes," but there's much more to this talented artist. In her own words.............. "I still freelance in the clubs and studio when I'm not away on tour with Jimmy Buffett. I've played on major albums for gospel recording artists, on rap albums as well as numerous indie album releases. Commercials (a.k.a. jingles) airing nationally on TV and radio I've done also. I've played with such artists as the Temptations, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Ben E. King, James Taylor, Joni Mitchell, the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and even alongside President Bill Clinton. I spend my days composing songs of many different musical genres, and, until now, worked towards writing and recording my first solo album, "INSIDE THE OUTSIDE." "With all of the wonderfully fulfilling experiences I've had as a musician, I must admit I dream, still, of being a ballet dancer. Perhaps my true calling, I wonder. This makes me often contemplate on how this whole career of mine just simply "wouldn't be" had it not been for the government funding behind music education in public schools when I was young. It saddens me to speculate upon the government cutbacks towards music education taking place today... the effects it will have on all the lost talent and unrealized dreams to children who literally can't afford to pursue their ambitions....and the detrimental outcome it will have on our world. Please, help support music education in our schools. Find out what you can do by visiting VH1's Save the Music Campaign."
