This high-energy Jimmy Buffett tribute band, featuring 11 talented musicians, is a crowd-pleaser that brings a sun-soaked tropical paradise to life. The charismatic frontman channels Buffett’s presence with smooth vocals and engaging stage energy, backed by a rhythm section of drums, bass, and percussion that keeps the party going all night. A skilled steel drum player adds an unmistakable Caribbean flair, while two vibrant female vocalists provide lush harmonies, catchy hooks, and lively dance moves that elevate the festive atmosphere.
With a horn section, including saxophone and trumpet, and auxiliary percussionist, the band offers a dynamic, authentic sound that captures Buffett’s eclectic style. Their setlist features beloved classics like “Margaritaville,” “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” alongside deeper cuts from his extensive catalog. This tribute band promises a top-notch musical experience filled with great vibes, unforgettable tunes, and a taste of paradise.

More than 200 shows a year. Jubilant fans who follow him from Minnesota to Mexico. More than 100,000 albums sold. A new release “Believe” and a state-of-the-art nightclub named after one of his songs -- all without the support of a major record label…
GB Leighton, a band named after one of the regions’ most incendiary live performers and consistently solid songwriters, Brian Leighton. Through almost three decades and fourteen albums, Leighton and his band have been tearing up rock clubs, festivals and even a few fan’s living rooms with a slew of songs that connect with the heart and couples singing along out on the dance floor. “A man of the people” is a phrase usually reserved for statesmen and politicians, but for Leighton, it’s a fitting description when you see him in action working a crowd.
Where have we seen this phenomena before? Springsteen in Asbury Park before he lit out for New York and the wider world; Mellencamp back in those anonymous Indiana bars; Leighton delivers that same inescapable rock ‘n’ roll spirit night after night. “If I hadn’t heard a bunch of Bruce’s bootlegs or seen the videos I’d be a much different musician,” he says today. “He’s always been a great songwriter and performer, like a preacher almost who commands an audience. That’s the place I’m coming from. But at the end of the day, I’m just a common guy, a working class kid from a Twin Cities suburb who loves to put on a good show and hopefully write some good songs in between.”
Leighton made his national country debut with “Get Up”, his eleventh album. For Leighton, who was also honored by Billboard.com as a Top 10 Country Artist to Watch as well. Leighton’s music has clearly left a lasting impression in the Midwest as fans have inked themselves with his lyrics.
“This is the only thing I ever wanted to do. I don’t see stopping or changing it up no matter where it takes me and the band.”

After his groundbreaking win on Last Comic Standing in 2006, Josh Blue has risen through the ranks to become a well-established headliner at venues throughout the world. In 2018, Josh crushed his set on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. In the same year, he was honored with a performance at the William H. Macy Gala at the prestigious Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada. He wrapped up 2018 by recording his fifth hour special, Broccoli, at his home club, Comedy Works in Denver, CO. In 2021, following his 3rd place finish on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, Josh Blue hit the road with his As NOT Seen on TV Tour. Josh does over 200 shows a year, continuing to spread laughter and break down stereotypes of people with disabilities. His stand-up routine is in a constant state of evolution and his off-the-cuff improvisational skills guarantee that no two shows are alike.
This performance may contain mature themes.
