Greetings,
We hope you all are hanging in there! Thanks again to all of you who have been tuning in to the band's Facebook Live performances! It's so much fun to interact with you all (and each other) in real time! The band is excited to be performing together this weekend (while social distancing of course!) for the first time in months! On Saturday, the Annual Team Pixie Dust Dinner Dance will happen as an online event with live music by the band! We have all the details for this performance below; we hope you will consider joining us virtually for this awesome event! In addition, Mark "Big Daddy" Leimbach will be performing on Friday, May 29, for the weekly Jersey Shore Virtual Happy Hour; information for this performance is below as well. Tune in, and remember the Big Daddy rule: every time the song ends or you touch your face, you have to drink!
IT'S HERE! THE "TROP ROCK STRONG" VIDEO!
The band is thrilled to have been included in a very cool video project "Trop Rock Strong"! Over 50 very talented musicians collaborated on this video, including Coral Reefer band members Peter Mayer and Nadirah Shakoor, and the result is nothing short of amazing! Check it out, and if you would like to help support trop rock musicians who have been hit hard by the quarantine, please consider a donation to the Artist Relief Fund. Thank you in advance!
Congratulations, Jimmy and Kris!
Married on May 31, 1980

Team Pixie Dust Virtual Dinner Dance
From our Team Pixie Dust friends:
This year our Dinner Dance will be just a little different, but we are looking forward to virtually partying with all of you on Saturday May 30th, at this year's Virtual Dinner Dance starting at 6:00 p.m.!
In addition to the music of Jimmy and the Parrots, who will be playing live, this year we will also feature a cocktail making class and a musical scavenger hunt so that you can "play along" with the band.
One of the best parts of the Team Pixie Dust Dinner Dance is the fabulous Tricky Tray! Did you think that just because we weren't together there wouldn't be one?

1. Click the Ticket Order Form and and Prizes Link. Ticket sheets each come with 25 tickets. Sheets are $20 each.
2. Once the form is filled out and submitted, choose your method of payment. We are accepting Venmo or Paypal (a PayPal account in not required for payment).
