Jimmy Buffett is an American singer-songwriter, author, businessman and film producer. He is best known for his hits like “Margaritaville,” “Cheeseburgers in Paradise” and “Come Monday” that highlight his flair for tropical escapism. His band is known as the Coral Reefer Band, and Buffett has a dedicated following of fans known as “Parrotheads.” Jimmy Buffett began his career in Nashville at the tail end of the 1960s as a country artist, and recorded his first album in 1970. Shortly after, Buffett moved down to Key West and established the laid back, easy living lifestyle that would became his signature. In Key West, Jimmy Buffett developed his unique blend of pop, country, folk music with a twist of the tropical. During the 1980s, Jimmy Buffett would prove himself a strong touring artist, selling out countless dates regardless of new material to support it.
DTE
Energy Music Theatre
The DTE Energy Music Theatre is a 15,274-seat amphitheater located in Clarkston, Michigan. It was originally known as the Pine Knob Music Theatre, due to its proximity to the nearby Pine Knob ski area and golf course. The name was changed in early 2001 when DTE Energy (the parent company of Detroit Edison) purchased the naming rights to the amphitheater in a ten-year, $10 million deal. Despite this change, many people still continue to call the venue "Pine Knob" or "the knob".
The amphitheater held its grand opening in June 1972 with an Andy Williams concert. However, on June 25, 1972 (a few days before Williams' appearance), there was a "pre-opening" concert featuring teen idol David Cassidy. Since then, many of the greatest stars in music have performed there. Chicago has appeared at this venue almost every year since 1972, and Eddie Money typically opens the concert season each spring. In May of 2006, Eddie Money was asked and did the national anthem in front of 22,076 fans at a Detroit Pistons playoff game. This was widely believed to be a cross promotion for his show the following day at DTE. Annually, the music theater has consistently ranked among the top-selling outdoor concert venues in the nation.
The amphitheater is owned by Palace Sports and Entertainment. Its is not uncommon for the employees to work a Detroit Shock game at the Palace of Auburn Hills in the early afternoon and then drive out and do a double shift at DTE. DTE Energy Music Theatre also hosts the Clarkston High School graduation ceremony, typically held at the end of May or beginning of June.
DTE is the usual Detroit area stop for some of the biggest tours of the summer concert season, including Ozzfest, Gigantour, Reggae Sunsplash and the Family Values Tour, and was the Detroit area stop for Lollapalooza (in all years it played there but one) before that tour signed an exclusive deal with the city of Chicago.--Wikipedia
