Yer' pals from one particular Northern Harbour

Welcome to Northern Harbour's 2nd Port of Indecision!!
Northern Harbour, the most authentic and dedicated tribute to Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefers this side of Key West! This Toronto-area based tribute show is an amazing re-creation of the Head Parrot's musical Gulf Coast journey, which is now in its 4th decade. All delivered in the fun-loving, trop-rock style that has made Buffett one of the top grossing touring acts in North America. "Canada's favorite island party on wheels" is a continually evolving live show that delivers the energy, spirit, and especially the sound of Jimmy live in concert! Drawing from a truly massive catalog of honed Buffett songs (& more), Northern Harbour is also among Canada's top festival tribute shows! Known formerly & semi-famously as Margaritaville Express, the band has been bringing the islands North since 2003, and they're just getting warmed up (takes longer in Canada, eh)!
Fronted by founder & vocalist Brian Neale, who has been performing Buffett material (often to gaping stares of disbelief) for over 20 years, Northern Harbour also features some of the most experienced & talented pro players in Southern Ontario. Music Director Ian Kojima (Chris De Burgh, Stampeders, etc.) lend his legendary saxophone work to the group, and sails the band with a steady hand on the tiller. Paying homage to Buffett's best live material, the result is what many say is the tightest Buffett band out there not named the Coral Reefers! Check them out at www.northernharbour.com where you can get video, audio, and tons of photos in the Media Gallery.
LIVE DATES:
May 24th, 2008: Retrofest, Chatham, ON
June 20, 2008: Party On The Dock, Midland, ON
Aug 16, 2008: Private Function, Kelowna, BC
And please take a moment to drop the band a line on MySpace's virtual coconut telegraph, for an add or just to say aloha - we love to hear from Parrot Heads everywhere! It's been a lot of fun getting to know so many cool people with great taste in music!
Special thanks to all the friends & fans who continue to make every show a party to be remembered! After all, the weather is here... Just watch out for those land sharks!

It's gotta be 5 o'clock somewhere... With a little luv & luck, you might find Margaritaville right in this one particular Northern Harbour. That's the plan, and that's what living is to me! Only 4 years old, and from Toronto, but have already had many cheeseburgers in paradise. From spongecake to gumbo - it's all on the menu. So don't be a blonde stranger, c'mon in and relax under a lone palm. Have a boat drink(s), and take a holiday with a band that can get you ALL the way to Margaritaville, without the airfare... FINS UP!!
Steve, Playoff time is upon us. Can my Blues get a little love and support from the Toronto area. We need all the help we can get. I'd be greatful and I'll save room on the bandwagon for you-lol.
What's going on in the great white north? How about my Blues making a playoff run. I thought your Leafs were going to do it, but it doesn't look good now. But hey, anything can happen. Take it ez, sticks down and fins up!!!
Jimmy Buffett made an impromptu live appearance in Key West (his first in 4 years) and debuted his new song... a satirical statement on the state of economic affairs in today's world.
Meanwhile, some quick thinking soul video recorded it Enjoy!
I am soooo looking forward to the 3rd annual "Party on the Dock" in Midland on June 20th!!! YEEEE !! I'm praying to the tiki gods for great weather, safe flip flops and plentiful Margarita's!! See you there!! :) All the best BB
So how's life in the great white north, eh? Looks like the Pens and the Wings. There have been some good games this year. How's your playoff team doing? GO PENS!!!!
