The late Jimmy Buffett got a star-packed tribute on Thursday night (April 11) at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles as artists including Kenny Chesney, the Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Crow, Vince Gill and Jake Owen honored Buffett during Keep the Party Going: A Tribute to Jimmy Buffett.
In one of the concert’s most memorable moments, Eric Church led an all-star cast in honoring the late Buffett, by way of kicking off the first verse of Buffett’s signature song “Margaritaville,” while Crow led the second verse.
Throughout the evening, artists performed songs to honor Buffett’s life and music. McCartney and the Eagles performed the Beatles’ classic “Let It Be,” while Carlile delivered “Tin Cup Chalice.” Dave Grohl teamed with Zac Brown for “Brown Eyed Girl.” Crow, who served as a backup singer for Buffett early in her career, also led Buffett’s “Fins.” Meanwhile, Caroline Jones and Jack Johnson collaborated on Buffett’s “A Pirate Looks at 40.”
