Mark Wood began listening to and playing Jimmy
Buffett tunes in the early 1970’s. The stories that Jimmy told in his songs,
along with the great melodies, were always very intriguing to Mark. Songs like
Margaritaville, A Pirate looks at 40, Pencil Thin Mustache and Tampico Trauma
became staples in his solo career.
Thirteen years ago, a friend in the
corporate event planning business, needed a “Jimmy Style” band for an
event. This was a chance for Mark to put together the perfect party
band. Mark called longtime friend Doug Legacy, formerly of Oingo
Boingo and Paul McCartney fame. Together they assembled an incredible
rhythm section, then added a cast of versatile sidemen and all of the
pieces of this incredible band were in place. A Cajun/Zydeco rhythm
section, reggae keyboardist, country guitarist, R&B sax man, a great
percussionist and a steel drummer actually taught by Coral Reefer Band
Member, Robert Greenidge. This unbelievable combination is what makes
Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band the next best thing to “Jimmy
Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band.”
Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band perform
a mixture of Calypso, Reggae, Rock and Roll, Country, R&B and
Samba/Salsa all true to the partying Jimmy Buffett Style. This is band
is the next best thing to Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band.
