Changes In Latitudes: America’s Premier Jimmy Buffet Tribute Show

Changes In Latitudes: America’s Premier Jimmy Buffet Tribute Show

Presented by City of Akron, Community Events Division at Lock 3 Akron

Changes In Latitudes is the country’s premier tribute show to the Mayor of Margaritaville, Jimmy Buffett. This nationally acclaimed band travels the country with beach balls and leis flying, dancing conga lines, and “Trop Rock” fun for all. It’s the ultimate beach party that’s good clean fun for all ages. Over their fifteen year history, the band has travelled from Maine to Barbados, Cape Cod to Chicago. From the 900-seat Walt Disney Theaters aboard the Disney “Magic” and “Wonder” cruise ships, to the National Hamburger Festival in Akron, OH, in front of 6500 fans looking for their “Cheeseburger In Paradise,” Changes In Latitudes has thrilled audiences with their amazingly authentic reproduction of the Jimmy Buffett concert experience.

Steve Kareta mimics Jimmy’s casual, storyteller style, while these world-class musicians, travelling with a full tropical stage set-up, will take you on a musical cruise through the sun-drenched waters of the Caribbean. You can expect to hear such classics as “Margaritaville”, “Come Monday”, “Cheeseburger In Paradise”, “Volcano”, and, of course, “Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes”, as well as other crowd-pleasing favorites, like “Brown Eyed Girl”, “Southern Cross”, “Another Saturday Night”, and the Alan Jackson / Jimmy Buffett hit “It’s Five O’clock Somewhere”.

The JiMiller Band is a five member band out of Cleveland, Ohio. The band is lead by Jim’s resonating vocals and jazz-infused lead guitar, Dave Blackerby plays the bass, Steve “Nev” Scheff on keyboards and Brian “Bagel” Golenberg on drums, with the newest member Vince Berry on guitar.
The JiMiller Band’s style is as varied as their influences; JiMiller blends together blues, country, Cajun, rock ‘n’ roll, jazz and bluegrass into a musical Americana that is both fresh and timeless in their everlasting sets. However, the band is best known for its freeform improvisation rock that was made famous by The Grateful Dead and Allman Brothers.
