Mac McAnally - Guitar, Vocals
Singer/songwriter veteran, Mac McAnally, is also a producer, session player, publisher, band member, studio owner, comic, story teller, and so on - a basic modern day William Faulkner living in the music industry.
He has recorded 10 studio albums all on major record labels, and has written multiple #1 records for the Country Music charts as well as others that roamed the top 40 Pop charts. Over 30 national recording artists have recorded songs written by Mac. He has produced country records for Sawyer Brown, Ricky Skaggs and more. Mac was the first artist ever to be signed by David Geffen for Geffen Records; the next couple of artists Geffen signed were John Lennon and Elton John.
Artists such as Roy Orbison, Hank Williams Jr., Amy Grant, Travis Tritt, Linda Rondstadt, Nanci Griffith, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, Alabama, George Strait, Patty Loveless, etc., have hired Mac for his guitar playing or vocal harmonies.
As a member of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer Band, Mac has written a number of songs with Buffett, including two songs from License to Chill: “Coast of Carolina” and the title track, “License to Chill.” Jimmy also recorded Mac's song, “It’s My Job” which appears on Buffett's '81 release, “Coconut Telegraph.”
Mac's recent album "Semi-True Stories" contains ten songs influenced by rock, jazz, country, and gospel featuring Nashville’s A-session players and members of Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band. All songs were written or co-written by McAnally and two, “Semi-True Stories” and “Last Man Standing,” have been previously recorded by Buffett himself. Mac and Jimmy have been friends and co-workers since the 80’s, so it seems fitting that this album was released on Buffett's own Mailboat Records. With the exception of “Stephon (The Alternative Lifestyle Reindeer)” recorded on tour with the Coral Reefers, the entire project was tracked and mixed at Mac’s house in Muscle Shoals, AL.

Born in Belmont, Mississippi, Mac's songs speak the truth and revolve around stories of the South as well as realities of the world. Each song has a story behind it, and at his own shows, Mac draws in the crowd mixing humor with truth. His shows are roughly 40% storytelling and 60% music...Southern culture at it’s finest.
In addition to the Jimmy Buffett tour dates, Mac is currently releasing some solo tour dates for this summer, so be on the lookout for upcoming shows in your area.
