Bio

If it has a tropical feel and tells stories about far off islands, sand and sun, tiki bars, ocean breezes, boat drinks or anything else that involves hanging out with your toes in the sand, you could call it TropRock. The most famous of TropRock artists of course is Jimmy Buffett. His music and stories have influenced “Parrotheads” of all ages and from all over the world. Independent artists have struck out on their own to add their own spin to the TropRock thing. Now their music and their stories keep our feet in the sand, a cold drink in our hand, and the ocean and sun in our hearts.

Jim Hoehn’s Three Chord Barbeque
Show Times: Mon: 8:00pm - Wed: Midnight - Fri: 3:00pm - Sat: 9:00am

Jim Hoehn is a Milwaukee-based journalist, author, sometime songwriter and huge fan of independent music. For two years, he also was the host of the Three-Chord Barbecue show as one of the regular guest DJs on Radio Margaritaville.

Well, after a lengthy hiatus, the Three-Chord Barbecue show is back, courtesy of Radio JimmyDreamz. As in the past, the show will include an eclectic, Americana-flavored smorgasbord of singer-songwriters, unreleased demos, vintage cuts from the vinyl vault and other musical tidbits from the nooks and crannies of the well-stocked closet of independent music.

In addition to new shows for Radio JimmyDreamz, some of the old shows also will be rebroadcast, sort of a “Classic” Three-Chord Barbecue. Because he was never a big fan of the guy who sponsored the softball team as a license to pitch, bat cleanup and vote for himself to the All-Star team, the one thing musical promise that comes with each Three-Chord Barbecue show is that it will not feature any Jim Hoehn songs.

As always, thanks for listening.

Classic boat.

Join Captain Philip Carney and the crew of the Scarlet Queen as they sail into adventure on the high seas!
Show Times: Sunday: 8:00pm - Tuesday: 3:00pm - Thursday: 9:00am - Friday: Midnight

Voyage of the Scarlet Queen was a radio adventure on the high seas, airing on Mutual from July 3rd, 1947 to February 14th 1948. Elliott Lewis starred as Philip Carney, master of the 78-foot ketch Scarlet Queen, with Ed Max as first mate Red Gallagher.

The show seems to foreshadow Star Trek in a number of ways. Each episode opens with an entry from the ship’s log: “Log entry, the ketch Scarlet Queen, Philip Carney, master. Position — three degrees, seven minutes north, 104 degrees, two minutes east. Wind, fresh to moderate; sky, fair…” with a similar closing: “Ship secured for the night. Signed, Philip Carney, master.” Arriving at an exotic port of call, the captain and first mate would go ashore and immediately run into trouble with local authorities, agents of rival merchants, or desperate women in need of rescue. After some investigation and at least one good fight they would solve the problem, get back on the ship and sail away, Carney and Gallagher sharing a laugh and a drink at the wheel before the captain’s closing log entry.

Technically the show was among the better radio productions of the time, employing realistic sound effects and sailing terminology, well paced stories and colorfully detailed settings. Most places visited by the Queen are real. Even the map coordinates given by the captain are mostly accurate, following a zigzag course around the South Pacific.

Radio Jimmydreamz and Trop-Rock Music
TropRock is a genre of music that deals with Tropical Fixations. If it has a tropical feel and tells stories about far off islands, sand and sun, tiki bars, ocean breezes, boat drinks or anything else that involves hanging out with your toes in the sand, you could call it TropRock. It roots come from multiple genres including Rock, Country, Jazz, Reggae, Cajun, Pop and more. The most famous of TropRock artists of course is Jimmy Buffett. His music and stories have influenced “Parrotheads” of all ages and from all over the world. But that’s just the starting point.

The TropRock sound has been around for a while but has recently exploded on the independent music scene thanks to the popularity of artists such as Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney, and many others. There are thousands of singer-songwriters all over the world who are not content to just play “Margaritaville” and “Come Monday” all night long. These independent artists have struck out on their own to add their own spin to the TropRock thing. Now their music and their stories keep our feet in the sand, a cold drink in our hand, and the ocean and sun in our hearts.
Many of these independent artists have a strong local or regional following. Radio Jimmydreamz began broadcasting June of 2004 with the goal of bringing their music to TropRock fans all over the world and turn local favorites into nationally recognized artists. We hope you enjoy their music as much as we do. If you do enjoy the music we play, please support these artists by seeing them perform live and buying their music. You can find their websites on our “Artists” page. Thanks for stopping by!

The Crew

“Captain” Jim Gay is the creator of the Original Jimmydreamz website first created in 1996. A true “Parrothead”, Jim originally created Jimmydreamz as a one-stop source for all things related to Jimmy Buffett, including information on tour dates and rumors, pre-concert info, and a ticket exchange with a strict NO SCALPING guideline. Today Jimmydreamz is the source for all things Tropical. Along with info about Jimmy Buffett, you’ll find information about “phlockings” all over the country with music from “Parrothead” favorites!
“Big” Ed Meyer joined Jimmydreamz in the Spring of 2000, when he met Captain Jim at one of the first and greatest Jimmydreamz Pre-Concert Parties ever held. As a student of radio and television production, the idea of creating a radio station catering to the musical tastes of “Parrotheads” was an appealing challenge. After several nights of music and tequila in Key West, Jim and Ed came up with the original idea for Radio Jimmydreamz. And in July of 2004, Radio Jimmydreamz became a reality. Shortly after, our first ever live broadcast took place in Manistee, MI, and included music from Tim Krause, Jack Mosley and Caribbean Blue.

“Rum Runner” Leslie Crawford may not be seen at live events, but things would fall apart behind the scenes without her. As an administrator for the Jimmydreamz Forums and the technical assistant at Radio Jimmydreamz, Leslie is a key member of the team. From Anderson, SC, Leslie is the eyes and ears of the station when the production team is on the road, providing info and feedback on live events, and managing the station operations in our absence. Leslie is a proud member of the “Pirates of The Piedmont Parrothead Club”.
