About "Changes in Latitudes"

Aloha!!!  We're glad you stopped by.  

In case you haven't seen us yet, Changes In Latitudes is one of America's premier tribute shows to singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett, the master of the tropical lifestyle. We are a nine-piece band with a singular plan, to take you to Margaritaville. Our show is good clean fun; we aim to offend no one, and entertain everyone. Every set is a party, with beach balls flying, dancing conga lines, and leis galore. It's one exciting show. Oh yes, and the music. You know more Jimmy Buffett songs than you think you do, and we'll prove it. Let us bring our rolling beach party to you.

For the true Parrot Heads out there, we are an authentic tribute show.  We've captured the look, feel, and sound of a real Buffett concert.  We are to Buffett what "Beatlemania" is to the Beatles.  The only thing we don't provide is the tailgate party before the show. (Of course, you can always have your own).

So, if you're ready for a "Latitude Adjustment", break out your grass skirts and Hawaiian shirts, kick off your shoes, and join the beach party.

It's all about da beach, mon!

About Steve Kareta:                    

Steve Kareta is a travel junkie, spending endless weeks in Hawaii and the Caribbean, soaking up the tropical island lifestyle.  After all that exhaustive research, he's here to share it with you.  He's spent most of his waking hours with a guitar in hand, toes in the sand, strummin' along with Buffett songs for, oh, the past 25 years or so.  A professed Parrot Head, he's followed Jimmy Buffett from New England to Florida, from New York to Las Vegas.  For a while, he toured as a pro audio engineer for folks like Joe Cocker, Paul Anka, Peter Wolf, and the 10,000 Maniacs.  He took some time to learn how to fly.  Bought one boat, then a second.  He put together Changes in Latitudes just for fun, and now it's his full-time "job".  Gotta love someone who loves their work.

All seriousness aside, he holds a Ph.D. (Parrot Head Degree) from the University Of Margaritaville -- Bachelor Of Fun!!!
