“This is the definitive Buffett tribute band ... Mark Wood began listening to and playing Jimmy Buffett tunes in the early 1970's. Mark loved the stories that Jimmy told in his songs, along with the great melodies. Jimmy Buffett songs were always staples in Mark’s solo career. Along with longtime friend, Doug Legacy, formerly of Oingo Boingo fame and the members of Doug’s Zydeco Party Band, they instantly became the tight and groovin' ‘Parrot Head Band’ rhythm section. After adding a cast of versatile sidemen, the pieces of this incredible band were in place...” — BandsBandsBands.com

Three 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 fame. Doug had an exciting group called the Zydeco Party Band. They instantly became the tight and groovin' "Parrot Head Band" rhythm section. Adding a cast of versatile sidemen, 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 trained 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.” If your lookin' for a full blown tribute show to Jimmy, or and incredible night of partying music, with a Parrot Head feel, this band will take you there...AND BEYOND!
