October 27, 2009
Since Jimmy dropped in to visit last month and make sure the Land Sharks were cold enough, we decided to keep the ball rolling with a MAJOR Parrot Head Party In the Shark Den on Friday Night, Nov. 6th, featuring Tom Watt-The Buffett Man and Fruitcakes Band- straight outta Pittsburgh, PA for a wild night of congas and grass Skirts!! Show starts at 9 pm and there is-as always, NO COVER! If you want to check out who he is go to www.tomwatt.com.
*A little about Tom:
Tom Watt, known to his loyal following as “The Buffettman,” has been dazzling fans around the U.S. for almost a decade. He has performed more than 1200 shows with his own unique tribute to both the music and spirit of the Jimmy Buffett concert experience. A true Jimmy double (in both looks and voice), Tom began performing his tribute show regularly in Pittsburgh, PA in 1998. By the following year he was performing Jimmy’s music up and down the east coast, from Key West, throughout Florida to the Carolinas and Virginia’s East Coast. Tom has been awarded the the International Guild of Celebrity Impersonators Award “Best Male Musical Star” as Jimmy Buffett (photos below). Tom also had the honor of being Jimmy’s photo double for the family comedy film “Hoot” (2006).
When Tom arrived on the movie set a small crowd gathered round, and he got questions from set people wanting to know what to do about this and that, how was his surfing trip this morning, what about the Manatees? All rapid-fire, and all at the same time. Finally he just said, ‘’We have a problem here… I’m not Jimmy.” Someone asked, “Well, If you’re not Jimmy, then who in the hell are you?” “I’m his photo double,” Tom said, and from then on he had a whole lotta fun foolin’ people. Finally when Jimmy got there it was Jimmy, Wil Shriner, Robert Wagner, and some other directors were conversing in the middle of the set area. At this point Jimmy had his back to Tom. As he got close to them, Mr. Wagner began to smile and look at Tom and then Jimmy, back and forth, eyebrows raised, and finally Jimmy turned and saw Tom standing right beside him. He almost belly laughed—he looked Tom up and down, and said, “Man, you really do have this thing down! Come on, let’s get a picture.”
