Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band will bring their "Son of a Son of a Sailor" tour for a performance at 8 p.m. today at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock. Tickets are $29, $76 and $146.
Buffett's most recent scheduled concert at the arena (Dec. 6, 2013) had to be canceled due to an ice storm in central Arkansas.
The tour takes its name from Buffett's eighth studio album, released in 1978, which contained his well-known songs "Cheeseburger in Paradise," "Livingston Saturday Night," "Coast of Marseilles" and the title cut.
The Coral Reefer Band is led by keyboard player Michael Utley, a Blytheville native who has recorded and toured with Buffett since 1975. Other current members are Robert Greenidge, steel drums; Peter Mayer, lead guitar, vocals; Jim Mayer, bass, vocals; Roger Guth, drums; John Lovell, trumpet; Mac McAnally, vocals, rhythm and lead guitars, dobro; Tina Gullickson, guitar, vocals; Nadirah Shakoor, vocals; Doyle Grisham, pedal steel guitar; and Eric Darken, percussion.
