From Coweta Community Foundation Press Release
Parrot Heads, get those Hawaiian shirts ready, because A1A, the Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show, is coming to Newnan!
On October 18, A1A will be at Line Creek Brewing The Reserve in Newnan to headline Coweta Fest, the annual fall fundraiser for the Coweta Community Foundation. Proceeds of the concert will benefit the Coweta Together Fund, which awards grants to local nonprofits. Last year, the fund gave$100,000 to 36 nonprofits and 17 Coweta County educators.
A1A was formed in 1991 when lead vocalist and guitarist Jeff Pike invited Scott Nickerson, founder of the first Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Club, to join his already successful one-man tribute to Jimmy Buffett. In 1992, the band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Margaritaville Records, bringing them to the attention of Jimmy Buffett and his organization.
Starting in 1992, A1A was the first band to perform at and repeatedly headline the annual Jimmy Buffett “Meeting of The Minds” Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Convention and many other national landmark yearly Parrot Head Events. These performances laid the foundation for the fundamental building and growth of the National Jimmy Buffett fan base, Parrot Head Club community, and the Trop Rock and Coastal Americana Music genres as they are today.
The energy, musicianship, excitement, and continuous honest dedication to preserving Jimmy Buffet’s legacy that has always surrounded an A1A performance are an experience and a driving force that has helped the band remain the first, foremost, and longest-running Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.
