What is Parrot Tales?
Parrot Tales is a podcast born from our love of the Parrot Head community and built on the real stories of people whose lives were touched by Jimmy Buffett and the world around his music.
The concerts, the songs, the places, the adventures, the friendships — all of it became part of our lives in different ways.
This is where those stories are told and preserved — by the people who lived them.
You don’t need to be a lifelong Parrot Head. You don’t need a story about meeting Jimmy. You just need a story that means something to you.
If Jimmy Buffett’s music, his world, or the community around it became part of your life, there’s a seat for you here.
Real Stories. Real People.
There’s no perfect Parrot Tale.
Some are about a concert you’ll never forget. Others are about a friendship, a place, an adventure, a song, a life Jimmy influenced, or a moment that somehow became part of your life.
They’re funny. Nostalgic. Unexpected. Meaningful. Sometimes all of the above.
These are the stories being told.
What’s your Parrot Tale?
Have a story you’d like to share? Or know someone whose story deserves to be told?
Maybe you met your significant other at a Jimmy Buffett concert. Maybe a song carried you through a difficult season of life. Maybe you met Jimmy himself, found lifelong friendships through his music, or still laugh about going to a show nine months pregnant dressed as a hula girl (guilty 🙋🏻♀️).
Whether you’ve been a Parrot Head for decades or simply found a piece of Jimmy’s world that stayed with you, we’d love to hear about it.
