Jimmy Buffett Salute to Bring Paul McCartney, Eagles to Hollywood Bowl
An all-star tribute to Jimmy Buffett in April will feature Paul McCartney, Kenny Chesney, the Eagles, Brandi Carlile and more, Variety has reported.
According to Variety.com, the show will take place April 11 at the Hollywood Bowl. It’s titled, “Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett.” Other performers include Jon Bon Jovi, Pitbull, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Jack Johnson, Jackson Browne, Zac Brown, Mac McAnally and the Coral Reefer Band.
Variety said ticket pre-sale offers will begin at noon Central time on Wednesday, with a general on-sale starting at noon Friday through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster listed six pre-sales, with two starting at noon Wednesday and four starting at noon Thursday. Ticket prices were not immediately available.
Many of the featured artists have performed with Buffett or have performed his songs. At least one, Carlile, knew him through a shared enthusiasm for fishing, according to Variety.
In other Buffett news, the video recently was released for “University of Bourbon Street,” a song from his posthumously released album “Equal Strain on All Parts.” Like several other songs on the album, it was co-written by Mobile native Will Kimbrough. It also features the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
Buffett, who died Sept. 1, also recently had a cameo in the Hulu series “Life and Beth,” in an episode set in New Orleans.
