"Ship Happens" is the perfect example of the kind of CD you want to pop into your CD player when you just want to get away from it all.

"Ship Happens" was originally written and recorded as a limited edition concept album for "The Parrothead Cruise of 2003" by Carnival Cruiselines. As it turned out, response was so overwhelming that the band decided to release it officially as their first all original CD.
For those of you who are already familiar with A1A you need no introduction, but for those of who have yet to join the ranks of THOUSANDS of nationwide A1A fans then we encourage you to read on!
A1A has gained national recognition over the past 12 years as The Official and Original Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show-Brought to you in part by Corona Beer and Margaritaville Tequila. 2003 marked a new chapter in A1A's history as they continued their tradition of making sun baked tropical rock with the release of their first all original CD, "Ship Happens!!
A BRIEF FLASHBACK
Jeff Pike and Scott Nickerson met back in 1989 when Jeff was performing the FIRST one man Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show around their hometown of Atlanta, Ga. and Scott was busy forming the FIRST Parrothead Club. They quickly formed a close friendship through their mutual appreciation of Jimmy Buffett and Caribbean music. This led to the formation of A1A-The Original and Official Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show.
A1A was the FIRST band ever to put on a high-energy, four-hour show composed of nothing but Jimmy Buffett's best songs, spanning every era of his career. In 1992 A1A won a national "Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest" sponsored by Jimmy's label at the time, MCA Records. This put the initial wheels in motion and in 1995 Jeff won a "Best Guitarist" contest and played onstage with Jimmy during the Domino College show in Atlanta, Ga. The concert which featured Jeff was released in a limited edition promotional nationwide radio CD release later that year and is still played on the radio yearly when Jimmy comes to a town near you.
A1A has played many respected venues across the country, including the Margaritaville Cafe's in Key West and New Orleans; Sloppy Joe's in Miami, Orlando, Key West, Jacksonville and Atlanta; Foxy's on Jost van Dyke; Carlos 'n' Charlie's in Cozumel; The Gulfport Casino Event Center in Gulfport, Miss. plus a long resume of many large concerts, a variety of cruises in the Caribbean, corporate functions, festivals and pro sporting events, including the now-legendary Annual Parrot Head Conventions in New Orleans and Key West.
Over the years, A1A has been joined onstage and on record by several members of Jimmy Buffett's own Coral Reefer Band: harmonica master, Greg "Fingers" Taylor; saxophonist & horn section leader, Amy Lee; guitarist, Peter Mayer; Music Director and keyboardist, Michael Utley; and steel drum virtuoso, Robert Greenidge.
A1A's first CD, "A1A Live" is a powerhouse album packed with 17 of Buffett's best songs, including a guest appearance by Fingers Taylor on the ballad, "Steamer," and two of his own songs, "Drop Down Mama" and "The Hammer." "A1A Live" was produced by Jim Mayer, Jimmy Buffett's own bass player and studio genius!
The second CD, "A1A & Friends Live at Hemingways" is a more "unplugged" companion to the first album, and has various local musician friends sitting in, including Coral Reefer Band sax player and horn section leader, Amy Lee.
Then the years 2002 and 2003 brought about a major change in A1A. The energy and musical integrity of the band jumped even higher with the edition of multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Koney Ferrell, lead guitarist and vocalist Chaz McDonald and lead and background vocalist Laurie Ann Barbier
You never can quite know what will happen in life, music or in the wild world of A1A....but hey...you know what they say..."Ship Happens!!!" So with that, we will leave you by inviting you to enjoy A1A's unique brand of trop rock music. Enjoy!
