Jimmy Buffett

In July 2010, during the Gulf Shores Benefit Concert, Jimmy Buffett was building on the success of his album "Buffet Hotel," which had been released in 2009. This concert, held at Gulf Shores Public Beach, was particularly significant as it aimed to raise funds in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, reflecting Buffett's commitment to environmental issues and the local economy of the Gulf Coast. The selection of "Bama Breeze" for his performance highlights his signature style, blending Caribbean influences with Gulf Coast themes. At this point in his career, Buffett had already established a loyal fan base, known as "Parrotheads," and was celebrated for his live performances which often featured a mix of humor, storytelling, and vibrant musicianship. The concert exemplified his ability to rally support for community causes while entertaining his audience with beloved melodies.
