Darin Talbot's BECOMING BUFFETT show is a superbly biographical performative impersonation of the great artist, JIMMY BUFFETT. No one will ever replace the man who is absolutely loved by millions... And his songs will live on forever.

In 2025, BECOMING BUFFETT premiered aboard the MARGARITAVILLE AT SEA 'ISLANDER' cruise ship out of Tampa. This stunning one man tribute literally brought many Parrot Heads to tears. The show has also been performed at Margaritavilles in Cape Cod, Lake Tahoe and Costa Rica.

With BECOMING BUFFETT, award winning singer-songwriter Darin Talbot takes us on a voyage through the charmed life of Jimmy Buffett, through the woven tapestry of Jimmy's famous biographical stories and songs.

Talbot reveals how Buffett first got into music... His key early inspirations like Harry Belafonte and Jerry Jeff Walker, and other real characters that Jimmy met along the way who were included in his songs. How JB made his way to Key West... His love for sailing... His love affair with Paris... His daring exploits as the pilot of a sea plane... And of course, the legend of Margaritaville and his legion of fans known as Parrot Heads.

DARIN TALBOT has performed professionally for corporate clients such as Margaritaville, Google, NFL, United Airlines and Allstate Insurance. And he has opened for The Beach Boys, Michael Franti, STYX and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

Now booking 2026 and 2027, BECOMING BUFFETT is available for VIP private, corporate, charitable, and commercial events at Theaters, Townsquares, Bandshells, Phlockings, MOTMs, Parties For A Purpose and house concerts.
