Frequent entertainers at MOTM you'll hear the songs Jimmy's performed and their own originals, all written in the Buffett/tropical vein.

Barefoot Man (Cayman Islands) -Barefoot Man - Born in the shadow of the Bavarian Alps, he loves palm trees, sandy beaches and tropical sun. He doesn't know an E flat from an A minor, but he's composed about 2,000 songs and recorded 500. Although he grew up in German schools and paid little attention as a teenager in U.S. English classes, he's written two books in English. He's to the Caribbean what Jimmy Buffet is to Key West, but everyone knows him only as "Barefoot." Barefoot is the biggest "B" to hit the island since Blackbeard. No visit to the island is complete without taking in George Nowak and his band (The Barefoot Man and Band). And he's back for the second time to entertain at Parrot Head Rendezvous.

Jerry Diaz and Hanna's Reef - songwriter, solo performer, and founder of the band "Hanna's Reef". The son of a merchant marine (R.L. Diaz) from the coast of Venezuela, and an artist (Irene Rivera) from Mexico, Diaz has both the nautical spirit and the gypsy flair running through his veins. Born and raised on the upper Texas coast, Jerry gives listeners a glimpse of the coastal lifestyle in just about every song he writes. From songs about Key West, Florida, to songs about New Orleans, and the Texas beach towns that he's grown up in, Diaz takes you on a musical journey of boats, beaches, and bars. Jerry's songs that have been enjoyed throughout the Gulf Coast, for the last several years. Jerry and Hanna's Reef Band are Parrot Head and MOTM favorites but you can hear and see them right here on the sugar white sands of the Florida Panhandle.

Jimmy Parrish and the Ocean Waves Band - Jimmy Parrish and the Ocean Wave Band - The music of Jimmy and his Ocean Waves Band has grown greatly in popularity in recent years. With their third CD release, Act of Piracy, they're steadily becoming one of the more well-known acts in the Trop Rock nation.

This will be their second Parrot Head Rendezvous performance.

John Reno and John Patti - on stage together. John Reno is a singer/songwriter from Fairhope, Alabama. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, John knew at an early age that music was his passion. John's musical style can be defined as trop rock - a mixture of rock-n-roll and country music with an island theme, and lyrics depicting a laid back lifestyle. John not only defines this musical genre - he lives it! With a degree from Loyola University he worked as an accountant in Boston. One day John took a long lunch and never returned to work. He bought a guitar and by the end of the week, John Reno was born. Within a short time, John Reno was playing at the local clubs and at colleges in the Providence/Boston area but being a Louisiana boy longing for "short-pant" weather, John returned to the Gulf coast area.
John Patti - Originating from Baltimore, Maryland, John Patti has performed for crowds across the nation and the world! At age 3, he began banging on chairs, couches, tables and whatever made the most noise until he found his father's old drum set which he used to teach himself to play drums throughout elementary and middle school. Being a fan of many genres of music, John was quickly inspired by the musical styles of Jimmy Buffett and the island sound of the steel drums. At age 11, he was able to get his hands on an old set of steel drums lying around a family friend's house. Within 30 minutes, John had taught himself two island classics and never looked back

Caribbean Cowboys - Caribbean Cowboys Band - The Caribbean Cowboys have been entertaining audiences for over 21 years. They have traveled throughout the South East, from Key West to NY City and through the British Virgin Islands. They provide a variety of music (Jimmy Buffett, tunes of other tropical troubadours, Classic, Southern & Trop Rock, R & B, Beach, Country and Originals) Hailing from Asheville North Carolina we think you'll find them to be a great addition to the Parrot Head Rendezvous line up.
