Bio

You can call the Beach Bum Band a "Parrothead band," because the beach, warm weather, and the island themes parallel much of the ambience that Parrotheads enjoy. But the Beach Bum Band is NOT a Jimmy Buffett cover band. The band certainly plays plenty of Buffett favorites, but you're just as likely to hear music from Bob Marley, Jimmy Cliff, Paul Simon, Dick Dale, Jerry Jeff Walker, and many others. They offer variety and entertainment for everyone who enjoys warm weather.
