Northern Harbour
Tribute to Jimmy Buffett
Northern Harbour, simply the finest Jimmy Buffett tribute show this side of Margaritaville! Authentically recreating Buffett’s musical Gulf Coast journey, this 8 piece group hailing from the Newmarket area creates a down-island beach party wherever they perform. Often hailed as the best Buffett band not named The Coral Reefers, Northern Harbour have been turning “parrot” heads since 2003 (formerly as Margaritaville Express), and have wowed crowds with their brand of “trop-rock” on both sides of the border.
Fronted by singer-guitarist/founder Brian Neale, whose interpretation of Buffett’s vocal work is truly jaw dropping, the band also features amazing players and rich vocal harmonies. But their reputation for getting the party started means you might be having too much fun to notice…
Brian has been honing his renowned & uncanny Buffett material for many years in performances all over the world, and the band has crafted an exceptional live show. Brian’s voice is routinely confused with Jimmy’s by Buffett fans hearing the band for the first time. “WOW!....” is the most frequent description of Brian’s vocal work. But this 8 piece outfit also features some of the most experienced & skilled players the South/Central Ontario area has to offer. Members of the band (see member bios) have performed & recorded with the likes of Chris De Burgh, Supertramp, Billy Joel, Ronnie Hawkins, The Stampeders, and many other prominent artists (including Buffett himself!).
