About

The Coral Reefer Band is the touring and recording band of American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, backing him until Buffett's death in September 2023 and has continued on without him. The band's name alludes to both coral reefs (in line with Buffett's tropical-themed music) and "reefer" (slang for marijuana).
