Island Time Band

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.

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.

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!
