FAQ
Is this the Coral Reefer Band?
No. Although Jim has been a Coral Reefer for 30 years, he wanted to have a fun band that does more than just Buffett, but of course you’ll still hear plenty of those at the shows. For information on the Coral Reefer Band, click HERE
Does this mean Jim won’t play with the Coral Reefers anymore?
Of course he will! Once a Reefer always a Reefer.
Who’s in the band?
You’ll always see Uncle Jim Mayer, but the “Tropical Friends” may include a host of Jim’s amazing talented musician friends including Tony Wagner, John Patti, some fellow Coral Reefers, plus collaborations with Trop Rock artists like Mike Nash and Donny Brewer and many more. That’s the fun of it!

The Tropical Friends Band is planning many types of shows from large events to smaller trio and duo shows. Check back to see how the tour is growing.
