The eight-piece tribute band features a Jimmy lookalike (pictured above) and headlines the 1st Annual Fin Fest happening in Clearwater this summer (and not to be confused with Jacksonville Beach’s Florida Fin Fest).
A full set from Bluffet’s “Son Of A Sailor Band” promises all the favorites, while festival organizers also have plans to screen the 1975 classic “Jaws” in the evening.
There’s no cover for the 1st Annual Fin Fest happening on Thursday, Aug. 1 at The BayCare Sound in Clearwater.
