With world-class talent and effortless style, this party powerhouse transforms every event—from rustic winery weddings to luxe urban soirees—into larger-than-life experiences. At an A-Town party, you’ll have more fun in a few hours than you’ve had in years. Playing amazing events all over the Southeast and around the entire country since its 2010 debut, The A-Town A-List is a carefully curated combination of performers with impressive musical, vocal, dance and theatre experience. With resumes that include performances alongside the likes of Bruce Springsteen, The Black-Eyed Peas, and Stevie Wonder, the band members each bring to the stage a combination of unique talents. Together, they form a magnetic energy that will entice every partygoer to the dance floor. A-Town A-List performances are designed to build momentum and end with a bang. With intuitive timing honed through years of on-stage experience, these performers are more than just musical artists; they are experience artists. The band knows exactly when to evoke just the right tune to keep the party going strong: from timeless classics to modern hits, from groovin’ funk to soulful, slow-burning ballads. And all three singers’ performance chemistry is infectious, evoking the emotional delivery of nearly every fan-favorite of the past 60 years …from Bruno Mars to Frank Sinatra, and from the Beatles to Katy Perry and Beyonce. On a personal level, the performers in The A-Town A-List know they’re lucky to celebrate life’s brightest moments with their clients. This band sets the standard for a new type of entertainment: one that blends fantastic live music, undeniable performance artistry, personal charisma, and authentic kindness to create extraordinary experiences.

A1A: The Official Jimmy Buffett Tribute in Concert
2023-07-07 15:00 - 17:00 | Cumming City Center, 423 Canton Road, Cumming, GA, 30040, United States
Join us for the official Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show: A1A at the Cumming City Center Lou Sobh Amphitheater!

The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show was born in 1991 when Lead Vocalist and Guitarist, Jeff Pike, asked Atlanta Parrot Head Club and PHIP Founder, Scott Nickerson, to join him in his already successful one-man tribute to Jimmy Buffett. In 1992, the band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Margaritaville Records and the A1A ball started rolling – a ball that is still rolling 30 years later.

A1A performs as a seven to a ten piece band, complete with audio and light production, bringing to life a colorful and energetic family friendly Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show. For added ambiance and realism, the A1A Beachwrecked Pirates is a sure fire way to boost up the enthusiasm and energy! The energy, musicianship, originality, and excitement that have always surrounded an A1A performance is an experience and a driving force that has helped the band remain the first and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.

Free admission & free parking. Outside food can be brought in but coolers, cans, bottles, and all alcoholic beverages are NOT allowed.
