Shot during the 1970’s, Chris Lauber’s vintage concert photos of Jimmy Buffett capture the early years of “Key West’s Favorite Son.”

His amazing curated collection goes beyond nostalgia — it provides a first-hand visual record of a formative era, offering an intimate look at the energy, spirit, and evolution of an artist whose connection to Key West became part of music history.
