A pilgrimage inspired by Jimmy Buffett - all the places made up and true.
Come along on our family’s sailing journey to follow the songs, stories, people, places, and adventures Jimmy Buffett helped inspire.
What is Sandbar Stories?
Sandbar Stories is a family storytelling project inspired by Jimmy Buffett.
Not just the music, but what the music made possible-the friendships, adventures, places, and communities it inspired.
As our family prepares to sail from Key West, to the Bahamas, the Caribbean, and beyond, we're setting out to collect and preserve those Jimmy Buffett inspired stories.
Through Parrot Tales, our podcast dedicated to the Parrot Head community, we'll sit down with Parrot Heads, dreamers, adventurers, and storytellers whose lives were shaped in ways both big and small by Buffett's songs, books, and spirit.
And we're inviting you to help chart the course and discover the stories.
From all the places made up and true, these stories aren’t fore us — they’re for you.
Every Parrot Head has a story. Parrot Tales by Sandbar Stories is a podcast built on those real stories. Watch the trailer for our first Parrot Tales episode and learn how one man’s story became part of something much bigger — a life shaped by meaningful moments, friendship, resilience, and the music that connected it all.
Parrot Tales is where the storytelling begins.
Help Chart the Course
Some of the most meaningful places in our lives came from a song lyric, a story, a concert, a book, or a recommendation from another Parrot Head.
As we prepare to explore the Keys, Bahamas, Caribbean, and beyond, we want the Parrot Head community to help shape the journey.
Did Jimmy Buffett inspire you to visit a particular island, marina, beach bar, harbor, restaurant, anchorage, or hidden corner of the world? Is there a place that became special because of a song, a memory, a friendship, or an adventure connected to his music?
Tell us where we should go. Tell us who we should meet. Tell us which stories deserve to be preserved.
Together, we’ll chart the course.
Come along for the Adventure.
