Reviews
“Barrie embraced the "gig" and made everyone at the party feel special, and this was especially true for the guest of honor at the party. Barrie took the time to understand any special needs/requests and went out of his way to help make them happen.”
— Stephen N.“Barrie Cunningham is a devoted Jimmy Buffett fan who nails all the details right down to using former members of Buffett's Coral Reefer Band. All the hits, all the favorites, all the way Jimmy does them. Some people at the show actually thought he was the real JB. I didn't have the heart to set them straight. Five stars from me.”
