Monday's Music Moves Me: Jimmy Buffett's Benefit Concert

Thanksgiving week had me moving to catch a couple of benefit concerts and a trip to see my parents. Today's M4 them is a freebie so I thought I would share some of the music of the artists I was fortunate to see during this time free.

Last Sunday I was off to Tallahassee, Florida for the sold out Jimmy Buffett lead benefit concert.
The show sold out in 11 minutes which is the fastest a concert has sol out at the venue. I was fortunate to score a couple of tickets.

TryingToReason_SoldOut 1000x490.jpgThe artists were changed a bit from the poster, Jake Owen became one of the featured artists and Caroline Jones was the opener /special guest. She was featured quite a bit as well.

Here she is with Jimmy Buffett on the encore..."Breathe in, Breathe Out, Move On"'


Jake Owen did perform this song..


Kenny Chesney "Old Blue Chair"


Toby Keith and Jimmy "Red Solo Cup"


Then this cover with everyone..


A lot of good songs and as a Buffett fan it was nice to see him tell more stories and play more acoustic songs. It was as you would suspect a good time. I will post about the other show at a later time. I hope you enjoyed your visit and I will be back soon.

Mike,

I don't think there's a concert I'd want to see bad enough but WOW, an 11-minute sell out is incredible! I'm glad you got to enjoy the show, though. Sounds like a great fun night out! BTW, glad to hear you had a great Thanksgiving with your folks. Thanks for sharing the dance floor with the 4M gang, my friend!

That's a pretty good line-up of entertainers. I'm surprised that my brother and his wife didn't go as they are big time Parrotheads. They just came back from a Florida trip and they're going to Buffet's New Year's Eve show in Nashville so I guess they had to squeeze in some work time somewhere.

A Jimmy Buffett concert seems like it would be a whole lot of fun! The closest I've come to one is when I visited Margaritaville in Las Vegas.
