Garratt Wilkin & The Parrotheads have headlined fairs and festivals throughout Oregon,
Washington, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, Nashville (Tennessee) and as far away as
Anchorage (Alaska), Maui (Hawaii), as well as the Eastern seaboard and as close as his
home town of Placerville, CA. Their popularity is expanding throughout North America.
Garratt and his band have been billed as the #1 Jimmy Buffett tribute band in the nation.
Garratt says, "Traveling with 'The Parrotheads' is a great way to meet Jimmy Buffett fans
and to make new 'Parrothead' friends. We get such a kick performing for fans that become
just as much a part of the show as we are."
Since their initial transformation from Garratt Wilkin & The Whiskey Ducks to Garratt Wilkin
& The Parrotheads, exclusively performing Jimmy Buffett music, the Parrotheads have
performed as a six-piece "core" band and up to as large as a 13 piece band including
Steel Drums, Horn Section, Harmonica and Pedal Steel Guitar. Garratt was quoted as
saying, "Performing with the big band gives us the closest representation of the Coral
Reefers and creates the look, feel and sound of being at a Jimmy Buffett concert."
