A1A ~ Jimmy Buffet Tribute at Ruth Eckerd Hall (Matinée Performance)
February 1, 2026 / $90.00 p/p
Prepare to be transported to "Margaritaville" as A1A: The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show comes to Ruth Eckerd Hall!
A1A– The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show has played to countless high-profile clients, Parrot Heads, and fans nationwide and continues to draw large crowds to their performances.
Through 34 years of performing, A1A's impact within the Parrot Head community is legendary, and even the late-great Jimmy Buffett, along with many members of the Coral Reefer Band, have performed with A1A. Previously, the band won a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Jimmy's new record label, Margaritaville Records, bringing them to the attention of Jimmy Buffett and his organization.
Today, the band's popularity continues to grow, and with Jimmy Buffett's devastating passing in September 2023, their mission, show, and presence are ever more critical. The energy, excitement, authenticity, musicianship, and continuous dedication to preserving Jimmy Buffett's legacy that has always surrounded an A1A performance are a driving force that have helped the band remain the first and foremost Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show in history.
You will enjoy a brunch at Ruth Eckerd Hall before the show!

Ruth Eckerd Hall, located in Clearwater, FL, was founded in 1977 when a 38-acre parcel of land was donated to the City of Clearwater by June Baumgardner Gelbart in honor of Richard B. Baumgardner, Sr., with the condition that the land be used for a performing arts center. Local philanthropist Jack Eckerd donated to the cause and purchased naming rights for the venue for his beloved Ruth. Groundbreaking ceremonies were held in 1979 and the Hall was completed in October 1983, opening on October 16, 1983, with the first official performance featuring the Suzuki Children of Japan.
Designed by the prestigious Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Ruth Eckerd Hall is a 73,000 square-foot facility that features a 2,180 seat auditorium, the Margarete Heye Great Room Banquet facility, administration offices and the Marcia P. Hoffman School of the Arts which includes: three studio classrooms, four private teaching studios, the Michael & Joan Kline Dance Studio, the Henrietta Campbell Rehearsal Studio, the Challener-Morrow Production Studios, a visual arts learning lab and the recently renovated 250-seat Murray Theatre.
