A1A Booking Agency Profile
Scott Nickerson established the initial Parrot Head Club, which was not your typical club. The organization's members were required to demonstrate a profound commitment to charity work, community service, giving back, and Jimmy Buffett's music, lifestyle, and attitude. Scott, who is meticulous in his attention to detail, sought the approval of Jimmy and his team by consulting with Jimmy's management and attorneys at every stage of the bi-laws' composition. The same level of professional detail was consistently implemented when Scott and Jeff merged to establish A1A.
In 1992, the band was recognized by Jimmy Buffett and his organization after winning a Jimmy Buffett Sound Alike Contest for Margaritaville Records. A1A was the first band to perform at and consistently headline the annual Jimmy Buffett 'Meeting of The Minds' Jimmy Buffett Parrot Head Convention and numerous other national landmark annual Parrot Head Events across the country that same year. The Parrot Head Club community and the Tribute, Trop Rock, and Coastal Americana Music genres as they exist today were established by these performances, which lay the groundwork for the fundamental substantial expansion of the National Jimmy Buffett fan base..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking A1A to perform.
Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like A1A in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking A1A or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
A1A's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking A1A for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book A1A, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing A1A. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate A1A booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book A1A for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final A1A booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will A1A charge for an event. An example fee to book A1A is in the starting range of $15,000-$24,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the A1A agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The A1A manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book A1A for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the A1A agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book A1A, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the A1A booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for A1A, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
