Chic Bum Buffet
Born from the sun-filled shores of Key West and the mellow spirit of coastal life, the troubadour beach country movement led by Jimmy Buffett sparked an entire subculture. This breezy, beach-friendly sound carries a similar ethos to the smooth grooves of 70s Yacht Rock — think Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, and the Doobie Brothers—where polished production and feel-good rhythms celebrated an aspirational lifestyle of leisure, love, and the open sea.
Chic Bum Buffet is our tribute to the laid-back luxury and barefoot bravado of those eras, blending the storytelling charm of beach country with the soft-sailing sheen of Yacht Rock. Drawing from top regional talent, this project brings to life a playful, escapist soundtrack that turns any event into a coastal daydream — whether you’re poolside, dockside, or simply chasing the sunset.
