The music of Jimmy Buffett will come to Trine University’s T. Furth Center for Performing
Arts when Adventures in Parrotdise, a full production tribute show, takes the stage
on July 12.
The concert begins at 8 p.m., with doors to the Ryan Concert Hall opening one hour prior. Tickets range from $25-$45 and are on sale at trineutickets.universitytickets.com.
Adventures in Parrotdise features William “Barrie” Cunningham, who has entertained more than 3 million showgoers since 1991, as well as actual Jimmy Buffett Coral Reefer Band members and alumni.
Cunningham sings all the “Songs You Know By Heart” like "Come Monday," "Cheeseburger In Paradise," "Volcano," "Fins," "Changes In Latitudes Changes in Attitudes" and the national anthem of all Parrotheads, "Margaritaville."
He also performs songs Buffett recorded like Van Morrison’s "Brown Eyed Girl" and the CSN’s hit "Southern Cross," as well as hit recordings like his duets with Alan Jackson, "It’s 5 O’clock Somewhere," and Martina McBride, "Trip Around The Sun."
Cunningham performs tributes in main showrooms and theatres around the world including Japan, Russia, Germany, Hawaii, Canada, Australia and Europe.
Adventures in Parrotdise is the only Jimmy Buffett tribute show to play a residency in the main showroom at a major Las Vegas hotel/casino. The show has performed for corporations including Adobe, Motorola and Camber Pharmaceuticals.
