Jeff has appeared with Jimmy Buffett onstage in concert, in an MTV Video and on record. A1A's first CD which featured Jimmy's harmonica leader and part time A1A band member Greg "Fingers" Taylor, was produced by Jim Mayer, Jimmy's bass player.
The bands second CD featured Jimmy's saxophone player and band leader Amy Lee.
As the first band ever to showcase a high-energy 4-hour concert composed of nothing except Buffett's best songs, spanning every era of his career, A1A became the only band personally sanctioned by Jimmy Buffett himself.
A1A band members Jeff Pike, James Cobb and Koney Ferrell are
now well-seasoned song writers with many original CD's to their credit. In 2003 A1A released their first all original CD,
