Jimmy Buffett has been busy on Broadway with the recent premiere of his musical, "Escape to Margaritaville."

But on Tuesday night, the King of the Parrotheads was on more familiar terrain - a concert stage in bare feet.

Buffett kicked off the 2018 season at Verizon Amphitheatre in Alpharetta with a setlist stocked with fan singalongs ("Fins," "One Particular Harbour," "Pencil Thin Mustache" and, yes, "Margaritaville") that have been staples on his "I Don't Know" tour - and throughout most of his career.

Photographer Chuck Holloway was there to document Buffett's Atlanta-area appearance.
