Fans from across America can join Jimmy as he returns to his writing roots in New Orleans for a live evening of readings from, and stories about, his new novel, A SALTY PIECE OF LAND. Jimmy will answer the questions that bother us so during a Q&A session, and perform with his beach band. This first of its kind live Big Screen Concerts event will be simulcast to 53 Regal Entertainment Group (NYSE: RGC) movie theatres across the country in high definition and 5.1 Dolby surround sound from the Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans on Wednesday, December 8th at 9:00pm ET / 6:00pm PT.

Event day tickets will also be available at box offices or online for $18.00. Movie theatre seating is limited and the tickets for Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans sold out in three minutes, so advance purchase is recommended for this event. Jimmy Buffett's books and albums have long been renowned for the magical spell they cast on his fans, transporting them to a place where the sun shines, the cocktails are cold, and anything is possible. A SALTY PIECE OF LAND continues this tradition for the writer whom Time magazine describes as having a "bottomless well of stories to tell." The New York Times bestselling author takes cowboy Tully Mars and his trusted pony, Mr. Twain, on an amazing adventure in which he encounters a variety of characters, including bounty hunters, a country-music superstar, a shaman, and a 101-year-old sea captain who takes him to an abandoned lighthouse that will change his life forever. The initial printing of A SALTY PIECE OF LAND (Little, Brown and Company; November 30, 2004; $27.95), includes a free CD of an eponymous new, original song inspired by Tully's travels. After more than two decades of recording and performing music, popular singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett splashed down into the world of books in 1988, when he co-wrote THE JOLLY MON, a children's book, with his daughter Savannah Jane Buffett, who was then six. In 1989, he published his first stories for adults in TALES FROM MARGARITAVILLE: FICTIONAL FACTS AND FACTUAL FICTIONS, which was the longest-running New York Times and Publishers Weekly bestseller of that entire year. His next book, the novel WHERE IS JOE MERCHANT?, immediately hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and in 1998, when his autobiographical book A PIRATE LOOKS AT FIFTY was published, he became one of only six writers to have held the #1 position in the categories of both fiction and nonfiction on the New York Times bestseller list. Jimmy Buffett was born in Mississippi and raised in Mobile, Alabama. He is a fourth-generation sailor, a rabid fisherman, a pilot, a surfer, and a frequent traveler to the remote and exotic places of the world, having become addicted to National Geographic magazine as a child. Among his many professional accomplishments, he has recorded nearly 40 albums, most of which have been certified gold, platinum, or multiplatinum. On July 13, 2004, Jimmy's LICENSE TO CHILL album was released and immediately entered the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country charts at #1. It is his first #1 album. He and his wife, Jane, and their three children live in Florida. *A COSTAL CONFESSION: AN EVENING WITH JIMMY BUFFETT live Big Screen Concerts event will be presented at the following locations: Market Theatre Location / Address |
