Wood has a long history as a Buffett tribute singer. In 1999, a friend in the corporate event planning business needed a “Jimmy-style” band for an event.

This was a chance for Wood to put together the perfect party band with a Cajun/Zydeco-style rhythm section with a Reggae keyboardist, a country guitarist, R& B sax man, Parrot Head singers and a steel drummer who actually studied with a Coral Reefer Band member.

The combination is what makes Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band the next best thing to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band.

The band has performed around the world in theaters, concerts, casinos, corporate events, for the U.S. military, for private parties, and even opened for Jimmy Buffett at the Verizon Amphitheater.

The timely Buffett tribute will be the final Amphitheater show of the 2023 season.

Non-resident guests must be accompanied by a resident. Smoking is not permitted at the Amphitheater, which is located behind the LW News Office in the GRF Administration complex.

No parking is allowed in front of the Amphitheater on St. Andrews Drive along the southbound lanes. Minibus transportation will be available before and after the show.
