“Pirates & Parrots” arrives shortly after Brown, solo artist and bandmate Caroline Jones, McAnally, the Coral Reefer Band and others remembered Buffett with a tribute show hosted at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California, where they delivered the first-ever live performance of their new song. The lineup for the show on April 11 also included Paul McCartney, Eagles, Jon Bon Jovi, Jackson Browne, Brandi Carlile, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Sheryl Crow, Scotty Emerick, Jack Johnson, Jake Owen, Pitbull, Jake Shimabukuro, and other special guests.

Jones recently spoke about Buffett, a longtime friend and mentor, on an episode of Get Real with Caroline Hobby. Jones told the podcast host that she feels “so grateful and so lucky” to have known Buffett. “He influenced so many millions of people with his positive, you know, almost childlike joy. But to have been up close and personal, that doesn't come around with a lot of people in this world, you know. So, I just feel so lucky to have been mentored by him.”

“Pirates & Parrots” also arrives on the eve of Kenny Chesney’s headlining tour kickoff. Zac Brown Band joined the “Sun Goes Down Tour” lineup, along with Uncle Kracker and Megan Moroney. The first night of the tour is a sold-out show at Raymond James Stadium on Saturday (April 20) in Tampa, Florida.
