Coral Reefer Band
The band's name alludes to both coral reefs (in line with Buffett's tropical-themed music) and "reefer" (slang for marijuana).Fingers Taylor, an original Coral Reefer, would discover Buffett performing solo one evening at The Hub on the University of Southern Mississippi campus in 1970.[2] This resulted in Taylor contributing harmonica accompaniment for part of the performance, the beginning of their long-term collaboration.[3] On October 30, 2023, Mac McAnally stated in an interview that the Coral Reefer Band would continue touring and performing Buffett's music at his request,[4] reiterating statements made by bandmate Robert Greenidge in a separate interview on September 9, 2023.In December 2004 additional shows were announced for 2025 one January 24 at the Hard Rock Hotel’s Etess Arena in Atlantic City, NJ.
