Mark Wood and the Parrot Head Band
“All
the songs you like to sing along with … and some good ones, too”
Mark Wood began listening to and playing Jimmy Buffett tunes in the
early ‘70s. The stories that Jimmy told in his songs, along with the
great melodies, were always very intriguing to Mark. Songs like
Margaritaville, A Pirate Looks At 40, One Particular Harbor and
Son Of A Son Of A Sailor became staples in his solo performances.
Thirteen years ago, a friend in the corporate event planning business needed
a “Jimmy-style” band for an event. This was a chance for Mark to put
together the perfect party band. He called longtime friend Doug Legacy,
of Oingo Boingo and Paul McCartney fame. Together they assembled a
terrific rhythm section, then added a cast of versatile sidemen and all
of the pieces of this incredible band were in place: a Cajun/Zydeco
rhythm section, a Reggae keyboardist, a Country guitarist, an R&B sax
man, a great Latin percussionist and a steel drummer actually schooled
by Coral Reefer Band member, Robert Greenidge. This unbelievable
combination is what makes Mark Wood and The Parrot Head Band “the
next best thing to Jimmy Buffett and The Coral Reefer Band.”

Band perform a
mixture of Calypso, Reggae, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Country, R&B and Samba/Salsa…
