NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ SIRIUS XM Radio) - SIRIUS XM
Radio (Nasdaq: SIRI) today announced that every show from Jimmy Buffett's 2009 Summerzcool Tour will air live on
Radio Margaritaville, SIRIUS channel 31 and XM channel 55, starting with Buffett's performance at the Lakewood Amphitheatre in Atlanta, GA on Thursday, April 16 at 7 pm ET.
"I'm really excited about it," said Jimmy Buffett, from his Green Tomato Van, his vegetable oil-powered, environmentally-sound means of transportation. "This year I've written quite a few new songs over the winter. I wrote them to play on tour, and not necessarily for an album, but now we may put them on a record later this year. The songs cover everything from the festivals in the desert in Timbuktu, to the recession, to the optimistic outlook on the other side."
SIRIUS and XM subscribers will hear every concert on Jimmy Buffett's upcoming Summerzcool Tour live on Radio Margaritaville when it kicks off in Atlanta. Live concert broadcasts will begin with pre-show parties and feature a behind-the-scenes look at the Summerzcool Tour and interviews with Jimmy Buffett and members of the Coral Reefer Band. SIRIUS listeners have heard live broadcasts of Jimmy Buffett's performances for the past three years, and now XM listeners will be able to hear this summer tradition.
