Tickets for all shows--which will likely sell out quickly--go on sale on Saturday (11/16), according to Buffet’s official website.
In November, Buffett appeared at several campaign stops with Florida gubernatorial candidate Bill McBride, who lost to incumbent Gov. Jeb Bush on Election Day.
Buffett’s latest studio album, “Far Side of the World,” was released in March. The album, produced by Russ Titleman (Eric Clapton, James Taylor), is Buffett’s first studio album since 1999’s “Beach House on the Moon,” and his first studio album for his self-run label, Mailboat Records. Mailboat released “Buffett Live: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays” in 1999.
Among the tracks on the album--Buffett’s 33rd--is a cover of “All the Ways I Want You,” a song from Bruce Cockburn’s 1994 album, “Dart to the Heart.”
A 55-year-old native of Pascagoula, Miss., Buffett has been one of the most consistent draws on the summer amphitheater circuit for more than two decades. Though his 2001 tour visited only 29 cities, it grossed $26.9 million and ranked as the No. 13 tour on Pollstar’s year-end list.
