Our 2007 CD, "Island Time" is a collection of original tunes and Buffett classics. We think it's quite the musical buffet for any Parrot Head. We hope you enjoy it!

Influences
Jimmy Buffett, Harry Belafonte and any artist that dips into the genre known as trop-rock: a blend of Caribbean, country and rock. We're also influenced by classic rock and party rock.
It's pretty simple, really... we love Jimmy Buffett and tropical music. Come see us live and you'll hear Jimmy Buffett classics and tropical music, not to mention some country and good ol' rock n' roll.
This band has been around for a few years -- we started in '03 and logged our 100th gig during the summer of '07. We're just hitting our stride, though. We've played every kind of bar and venue you can think of but prefer playing Parrot Head gatherings and regional festivals. We've played Alpine Valley's VIP stage when Jimmy Buffett was there as well as a host of Phlockings across the Midwest. We've got some big gigs in the works for '08, including the Isle of Iowa Parrot Head Club's Island Fever Phlocking where we will be performing with Jimmy Buffett's original Coral Reefer band member, Greg "Fingers" Taylor on harmonica. We will also be performing at the Meeting of the Minds in Key West for the first time in November. More details will follow on this.
We're members of the Isle of Iowa Parrot Head Club and love to party with a purpose! Come see us some time!
