The Island Time Band is awesome!

Our club hosted a Jimmy Buffett night and selected the Island Time Band for our event. We were not disappointed! They were great. Arrived early to set up their equipment and do a sound check. The music was perfect for our event. Everyone had a great time. I would definitely book them again next year!

Margaritaville Themed Fundraiser

We had Island Time do a Margaritaville themed fundraising event and it was a total success! The band was asked to play some Jimmy Buffett and other party/dance music mixed in and they rocked it out!! Crowd loved the show and everyone had a blast. We were very happy with Island Time and we will certainly be using them again in the future!

They were so great!

Our event was planned for outside, but it poured down rain. The guys in the band were so sweet and flexible and set up in a tight spot inside our home. They made the night just perfect! I would definitely use them again!!

These guys are outstanding

We were looking for a good Jimmy Buffy tribute band for a birthday party. The Island Time Band gave us much more that we had hoped for. Their music got our guests on the dance flood (not an easy task). After a margarita or two we were convinced the Jimmy Buffet himself was with us. These guys are the real deal.

What to Expect

A musical journey featuring a happy go lucky Australian, Jimmy Buffoon, the long lost cousin of the famous American with a similar name. Interacting with an ornery pirate, Mark Arrita, a disgruntled crew member who feels this ship has run a ground. Bringing up the rhythm section is an albino Jamaican and a deaf mute. Costume changes, stage props, comedy and great music fill out an Island Time show.

About

Island Time is a collaboration of North Carolinas finest laid back musicians playing not only the music of Jimmy Buffett but many other island specialties. We are a nautical themed band, which means all songs have a connection to either sailing, captains, pirates, oceans, islands etc. We like to think of ourselves as an Island Rock Band. In addition to the high quality of the music, Island Time also provides a show complete with stage props, costume changes and characters. Character synopsis: Guitarist/Lead Vocalist is Captain Jimmy Buffoon. A long lost cousin from the outback in Austrailia of the well known Jimmy Buffett from Key West. Keyboardist/Lead Vocalist is Mark Arrita. A disgruntled pirate whose time on shore has him believing a mutiny is in order to get this band of misfits back out to sea. Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals is Bud Wiser. A smooth talking soft spoken Albino from Jamaica. Drummer/Percussionist is Flip Flop who happens to be a deaf mute.
*Island Time is now available as a Duo for those occasions that the budget, space or mood is more suited to a smaller group.
For Immediate Release: Island Time is proud to announce the addition of award winning guitarist/vocalist Peter Colada on a limited engagement basis!
After being marooned on a South Pacific island for 8 years Peter became Feral and unable to speak in complete and coherent sentences. Fortunately he had plenty of time to sing and play making him the dynamo we are able to experience today. Look for Peter Colada at an Island Time Band show near you soon!
