Margarita Mafia Artist of The Month for October 2011: Jeff Pike

jimmypirate@piratedreams.com (JimmyPirate) — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 15:43:33 PDT

Seems like as long as there's been official Parrot Heads, there's been Jeff Pike. The Original, Official Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band A1A has been tearing it up for years and contributing their own original songs to the Trop Rock lexicon. JimmyPirate talks to Jeff about the past, present and future of A1A, movies, record contracts the beginning of inspiration and why A1A WON'T be at MOTM this year... Buckle your seat belts, this is a long one...

The Margarita Mafia Artist of the Month May 2011: Twenty Six Miles

jimmypirate@piratedreams.com (JimmyPirate) — Sun, 01 May 2011 08:41:04 PDT

A bit different take this time around as we have a little fun with Rob Miller, executive producer and John Schneider, co-executive producer and star of the television show "Twenty Six Miles".

The show, Twenty Six Miles, stars John Schneider as a corporate executive who leaves a stressful career, moves to an island, and "gets the old band together". (Sounds like an awful lot of Trop Rock artists that we know!)

Take a listen, you just might hear something VERY exciting regarding the 2011 Trop Rock Music Awards at this year's MOTM, which happens to be the 20th Anniversary.

Spotlight #16: Young Rebel Goombas

jimmypirate@piratedreams.com (JimmyPirate) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 19:15:33 PST

Pete's been working overtime!!!

Goombas hail from Long Island, New York. Tropical rockers, their sound is not so easily pigeon-holed. Each member brings a rich and varied musical background to create the luscious Goomba sound.

Richie Saccente plays guitar and shares lead vocals with his cousin Cosmo Mallardi, who also plays bass guitar. Brian “Uncle Bee” Johnson sings backup vocals and shares percussion duties with Randy Knudsen, also on vocals. Kevin McCann plays guitar and sings backup. Special guests on their debut album include Richie Cannata (sax player for Billy Joel, Elton John, The Beach Boys, etc.) and Bob Cassera on trombone.

Filmmaker Jake Gorst first met Saccente as a student in his guitar studio. Over the years they have worked on many projects together. For the Young Rebel Goomba album, Gorst assisted the band in the production of the CD. Pete talks with Richie Saccente about how trop-rock is all about "FAMILY", and why moving Trop-Rock into the main steam radio is important. http://www.youngrebelgoombas.com/

Our friends at Snoloha were recently named the number one “slacker friendly business” in America by MSN.COM and STARTUP NATION. To celebrate this honor, Rod and the gang at Snoloha have created a great new “Trop Rock” apparel design paying tribute to the music we love so much. The best part about it is that for every shirt sold, a donation will be made to The Paradise Charitable Foundation, a national Parrot Head organization that donates to worthwhile causes, like parrot heads displaced by Katrina.

So check out Snoloha.com and see for yourself. Tell them JimmyPirate sent you and help out a great charitable organization too.

SNOLOHA… A lifestyle shared by those who live, play, travel, vacation, relax, or simply enjoy life somewhere between the islands and the arctic.
