Parrot Head Looks at 40
June 27 - 28, 2025
The term “Parrot Head” was coined in 1985 at a Jimmy Buffett concert at the Timberwolf Amphitheater in Cincinnati, OH.
At the show, Jimmy commented about everyone wearing Hawaiian shirts and parrot hats and how they kept coming back to see his shows, just like Deadheads. Timothy B. Schmit, then a member of the Coral Reefer Band, coined the term “Parrot Head” to describe each of those fans.
And just like that...our PHamily was identified and we've never looked back!

Generous, smart, far-sighted — that was our talented boss, Jimmy Buffett, yet these are scant adjectives to describe an unforgettable person. The collective sort of, “What do we do?” is more profound with the loss of Jimmy than others in recent memory. He inspired generations to just live it up for a minute, stand in the sunshine, celebrate the small stuff...have some fun!
So, how do we move onward and upward? We do it by honoring Jimmy’s spirit of giving, helping others, and having fun along the way. Every contribution to SFC advances Jimmy’s desire to give back and share some success. We’ve been “sprinkling pixie dust” as he called it, all over the US and various parts of the globe since 1995, helping thousands of people find a better way to live. Our funding focus is on non-traditional, grass-roots organizations that might be overlooked by conventional funders.
Thank you for supporting Jimmy's memory, sharing your success with Singing for Change, and keeping the faith. Fins up forever!
