Ula, A Tribut to Jimmy Buffett
Overview
Members of Ula, meaning Warriors of the Sea, got together with one thing in mind, to play music that is fun and makes you want to party. What better way than to play the music of the party man himself- Jimmy Buffett? You must understand, there is a little bit of Parrothead in every one of us!
Party down the way the Islanders do because Ula plays Buffett tunes that make you feel good and takes you away on an entertaining, tropical, musical vacation. Embark on your next island trip of memories swaying with that special someone to the songs that made Jimmy Buffet such a phenomenon.

April 3, 2021"Ula" was the hit of the party!!!!!!!!
"Ula" was the hit of the party for my husband's 60th Birthday Bash!!!! We throw lots of parties and this one was by far our best, mainly because of Ula. We continue to get accolades from our friends and family days and weeks after the party!!!!! The band drove five hours and showed up early. Their musical equipment, stage props and presentation far exceeded our expectations. All the band members were very personable especially Kenny, the leader of the band. We had so much fun that we want to hire them again in the future and would highly recommend Ula if you are looking for a fun Jimmy Buffett Tribute Band.

What to expect
Members of Ula have been around long enough to know its not about us. It Is about what we can do to provide the most exciting and enjoyable performance that get a positive reaction from the audience. Our shows are just fun and we interact with the audience to get you involve with the music we play. Our best performance is a 2 hour non-stop show were we talk about Jimmy Buffett and the songs he wrote, as well as other artist he has worked with. But it is our objective to work with you in finding out what we need to do to make it the best event we can.
