Mohegan Sun Arena Schedule Of Events

To the delight of Parrotheads Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band return to Mohegan Sun Arena.

Jimmy's upcoming album, Buffet Hotel (one t), is scheduled for release in December. The title cut has a strong West African influence and was conceived during a trip to the "Festival In The Desert," a music festival that takes place annually near Timbuktu, Mali.  "It was one of the best musical experiences of my life," said Jimmy.  It was there that Jimmy ran across the Buffet Hotel, an old colonial era train station/hotel which was the venue for the music scene that exploded in Mali after its independence in 1960.
