A1A – Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band

Hiawassee DDA presents 2025 Summer Fun-draiser A1A – Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds, Anderson Music Hall on July 19 at 6 p.m. Proceeds benefit The Paris Business Center Restoration in Downtown Hiawassee.

Activities include the concert, silent auction, 50/50, food trucks, drinks and lots of fun! 

A1A, the official and original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show 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 its 32-year history, A1A has played to countless high-profile clients, Parrot Heads and fans nationwide and continues to draw large crowds to their performances.

Today, the band's popularity continues to grow, and with Jimmy Buffett's devastating passing in September 2023, their mission, show and presence are ever more important. A1A's 2024 concert reason took them from coast to coast playing to record numbers of Jimmy Buffett fans who crave the authenticity, honesty, integrity, excitement, fun and professionalism of an A1A show. The energy, musicianship, excitement and continuous honest dedication to preserving Jimmy Buffet's legacy that has always surrounded a Jeff Pike and 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.
