Pre-Party with Roger Bartlett

Roger Bartlett, acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and original member of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, brings decades of legendary musical experience, storytelling, and crowd-pleasing entertainment to the stage. Bartlett co-wrote Buffett’s iconic hit “Come Monday” and played a key role in shaping the laid-back, tropical sound that helped launch the Parrothead movement, earning him a lasting place in American music history.

Joining him is Klee Liles, a guitarist and singer who has performed throughout the Southeast for more than 30 years. Known for his engaging blend of pop favorites, singer-songwriter classics, and original music, Liles spent time in Nashville before making his home in North Carolina’s High Country, where he continues to captivate audiences with his versatile style and warm stage presence.

Together, Bartlett and Liles deliver an unforgettable performance filled with exceptional musicianship, great stories, beloved classics, and the easygoing spirit of coastal and mountain living.
