Changes in Latitudes is the nation’s premier tribute to Jimmy Buffett, capturing the sun-soaked spirit, laid-back storytelling, and beach-party energy that made him a legend. With pitch-perfect authenticity, they recreate the full Buffett concert experience—from the tropical stage aesthetic to the breezy, island-inspired sound that instantly transports audiences somewhere between the Caribbean and the South Pacific.
Led by Steve Kareta, whose easygoing charm channels Buffett’s signature vibe, the band takes fans on a musical escape filled with classics like “Margaritaville,” “Come Monday,” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” alongside favorite covers and Buffett’s more recent country-leaning hits such as “Trip Around the Sun” and “Hey Good Lookin’.” Every performance is a party—family-friendly, endlessly fun, and complete with leis, beach balls, and conga lines moving through the crowd.
Celebrated by Parrothead Clubs nationwide for their accuracy and spirit, Changes in Latitudes has spent more than a decade touring the country and earning a reputation as the most authentic Buffett tribute around. If you’re craving a little “latitude adjustment,” this is the show that brings the island life straight to the stage.
