The Coral Reefer ensemble is Jimmy Buffett's traveling and recording ensemble. Coral reefs and "reefer" (marijuana terminology) are both hinted at in the band's name. One night in 1970 at The Hub on the University of Southern Mississippi campus, an original Coral Reefer named Fingers Taylor would find Buffett performing solo. This set the stage for their ongoing partnership, as Taylor played harmonica accompaniment for a portion of the show. Just over three and a half months before Buffett passed away in September 2023, the band played their last show together in San Diego on May 6, 2023. In an interview on October 30, 2023, Mac McAnally said that the Coral Reefer Band would keep touring and performing Buffett's music, following Buffett's desire. As the house band for the 'Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett' event at the Hollywood Bowl, the band reassembled for the first time since Buffett's demise on April 11, 2024. McAnally officially welcomed Scotty Emerick, Caroline Jones, and Jake Shimabukuro as permanent band members during the performance. Throughout the 2024 New Orleans JazzFest, the band's many incarnations played at various events until the whole ensemble took the stage.

Essential Event-Day Checklist

Before You Leave

Digital Tickets: Download tickets to your phone's wallet now. Venue Wi-Fi is notoriously unreliable.
ID Check: Bring a valid photo ID; many venues require it for entry or "Will Call" pickup.
Bag Policy: Most venues enforce clear bag policies or limits (typically A4 size or smaller). Check the specific venue site to avoid being turned away.
Cash & Cards: While many venues are now cashless, bring some cash as a backup.

Pro-Tips

Power Up: Bring a portable power bank. Using your phone for video and ride-sharing will drain your battery fast.
Hearing Safety: Use high-fidelity earplugs to enjoy the event while protecting your hearing.
Hydration & Energy: Eat a full meal and stay hydrated beforehand.

Dress for Success

Footwear: Wear broken-in sneakers or boots. You could be standing for 3–5 hours; avoid new shoes.
Layer Up: Wear light layers (flannel or light jacket). Venues can range from chilly to very hot.
Style: Be yourself, but it always helps to have pockets or a small crossbody bag to keep essentials secure and hands-free.

Logistics & Safety

Arrive Early: Get there 60 minutes before doors to beat the merch and security lines.
Transport: Pre-book your ride share or scout parking garages in advance to avoid post-show surges.
Stay Safe: Identify your nearest exit upon arrival and designate a meeting spot for your group.
