MEET THE ARTISTS
MEMBERS OF THE CORAL REEFER BAND
Tropical rock music will be setting the scene for a night full of good island vibes with several members of the Coral Reefer Band, who used to perform with legendary artist, Jimmy Buffett before his passing. Among these members are Nadirah Shakoor (vocalist), Doyle Grisham (steel pedal guitar player), Roger Bartlett (original guitarist from Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band), and Tina Gullickson (vocalist).
Nadirah Shakoor is best known as the former lead female vocalist of acclaimed hip hop group Arrested Development and has been well known as the featured female vocalist of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. She has performed for thousands at stadiums including Lollapalooza, Womad, and Woodstock II. Nadirah Shakoor says, “28 years later and counting I now consider The Coral Reefer Band to be my family and I am proud to be a member. I have the utmost respect and love for each and every one of the CRB as multi-talented artists and as really good people.”
Doyle Grisham has played on record releases by artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Reba McIntire, Leona Williams, and more. He has been touring with Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band for the past 25 years and playing at events organized by the Parrot Head Organizations.
Roger Bartlett is the original guitarist from Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. In the beginning, it was just Jimmy and Roger until it became apparent that they needed a full band for the bigger venues that they were playing. Roger is also infamous as the singer and writer of the song Fool for a Blonde from the classic horror movie “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Tina Gullickson joined The Coral Reefer Band in winter of 1995, a calling she now refers to as “the best job in the world.” In 1997, she was the executive producer and stylist for fellow Coral Reefer Peter Mayer’s music video “Shall We Dance” and is now working on writing and recording her first solo project.
THE STINSON BROTHERZ
The Stinson Brotherz have entertained audiences at numerous Las Vegas Residencies performing at The Paris, Planet Hollywood, MGM Grand, and the Golden Nugget. Rick and Bob have both performed with Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band and are looking forward to the upcoming Margaritaworld show at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, where they will once again have the stage together.
GREY STREET VEGAS
Grey Street Vegas has been a Dave Matthews Band tribute band since 2010. With Las Vegas as its home venue, the band is made up of some very talented Vegas local musicians! Grey Street Vegas works to truly capture the essence of the Dave Matthews Band and replicates the celebration of this music with the energy and the feel that people have grown to love. From their everchanging set lists to accurately depicting a night with the band, they take pride in adding their own flare to this exciting music.
