For more than 50 years, Jimmy Buffett has delivered legendary performances beloved by millions. The music has spawned 30 albums, 43 tours, a record label, a radio station, best-selling books, a global lifestyle company and of course, a legion of Parrotheads who flock to his live performances. In partnership with nugs.net, the leading platform for live concert streams, 30 years of Jimmy Buffett’s live performances will be made available for fans on-demand. The first set of five shows from the archive will launch on the streaming service on Thursday, October 1st, in both audio and video formats. Five additional shows will be added every Thursday throughout October. All audio will be available for download, as well as CD purchases. Weekly live shows featured on Radio Margaritaville will also be added to the nugs.net platform, and archived video performances will be powered by nugs.tv.
“Our focus has always been on delivering the live music experience direct to fans, and there are very few artists who deliver as colorful of a live show as the inimitable Jimmy Buffett. We’ve been chasing this big fish for some time, and we’re delighted he’s landed on nugs.net,” says Brad Serling, nugs.net Founder and CEO.
“Jimmy and I have been talking for years about the best way to allow fans the ability to enjoy past shows, on-demand, and all signs pointed towards nugs.net,” adds Coleman Sisson, GM of Radio Margaritaville. “They’ve been doing this for years, and we’re excited to finally make the partnership a reality.”
Jimmy Buffett has recorded over 50 albums, most of which have gone gold, platinum or multi-platinum.

Buffett has received two Grammy nominations, numerous Country Music Association awards and his all-time classic, “Margaritaville” has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame for its cultural and historic significance. Radio Margaritaville can be heard nationwide on SiriusXM Ch. 24, featuring his music and performances plus an eclectic mix of artists who share his escapism vibe.
