Zac Brown Band, Kenny Chesney, & Alan Jackson Paid Tribute to Jimmy Buffett at the 2023 CMA Awards

Jimmy Buffett has always been one of the most loved country music artists. This artist has a special spot in everyone’s heart for his track ‘Margaritaville’. Recently at the 2023 CMA Awards Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, Zac Brown Band, and Mac McAnally gave a tribute to this phenomenal artist.

In 2003, Alan Jackson performed along with Jimmy Buffett in the CMA Award, where they sang ‘It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere’. Buffett has always showcased his talent through his exceptional pieces of music. It can be said that he was one of the most talented artists when it comes to country music. And his absence has created a huge hollow in the music industry.

That is why, the rest of the artists of Buffet’s Coral Reefer Band came up together to pay tribute to the artist. At the very first Chesney and McAnally started off their performance with the track ‘A Pirate Looks at Forty’. While performing McAnally also said ‘Jimmy made a whole world full of friends… just a few friends’. And later on, he said ‘Thank you, Jimmy!’. It is quite an emotional moment for everyone.

Along with that, Zac Brown and Alan Jackson came up on the stage and started off the performance with ‘adios, my friend’. Right after that they also sang the 1977s biggest hit ‘Margaritaville’. While singing his hit songs, the crowd also responded by saying ‘Salt! Where’s the damn salt!’. With this tribute, everyone was living in the era of Buffett.

This proficient artist Jimmy Buffett passed away on the 1st of September due to skin cancer. At that moment, the artist was at his home in Long Island, New York. Buffett died at the age of 76 and in this time period, he gave some spectacular pieces of music. On this occasion, McAnally has said ‘Everybody taking part in it loved Jimmy and he loved everybody taking part in it – and that’s an easy call, because Jimmy loved everybody and he made everybody feel better every time he was in front of them for his whole life, all the way to the end’.

Along with that he also said ‘The thing we’re trying to convey is that he was not a fictional character. He was really the guy that you thought he was. He’s gonna be smiling down on us tonight. Because he’s gonna hear some people that loved and put their hearts right up against the microphone and gave it all we got’
