“Summer fun in Cincinnati doesn’t begin until Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band come to town,” Riverbend Executive Director Mike Smith said in an event announcement. “Riverbend Music Center is proud to welcome back its top selling artist of all time for what we expect to be another unforgettable performance. You won’t want to miss this party!”
The Riverbend performance is a part of Buffett’s “Son Of A Song Of A Sailor” 2019 Tour.
Buffett released his famous “Son Of A Son Of A Sailor” LP in 1978, and sang the title track on “Saturday Night Live” that year, according to a Riverbend press release. The song was written about his grandfather, James Delaney Buffett Sr., who was a huge influence on his life. The tour is called Son Of A Son Of A Sailor as 2018 was the record’s 40th anniversary, and the celebration continues through 2019. The record also includes the hit, “Cheeseburger In Paradise,” a Parrothead favorite, as well as “Livingston Saturday Night” and “Cowboy in the Jungle.”
