Chris Stapleton concertgoers get tasty surprise and Jimmy Buffett gets his own action figure | Music City Minute

Aug 2, 2024, 4:31 PM

Chris Stapleton fans were treated to a tasty surprise at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park. As Stapleton played his hit song, “Parachute,” concertgoers noticed tiny red parachutes floating into the park. Attached to each parachute was a hotdog! As it turns out, the high-flying franks are a new tradition at all the Mariner’s home games. The fun stunt was started last offseason.
Parrot Heads are raving over the new Jimmy Buffett action figures that were revealed at Comic Con. The Mattel-created figurine is based off Buffett’s cameo in the 2015 “Jurassic World” movie. It features Jimmy holding a margarita and salt shaker, standing on top of a margarita and encircled by flying dimorphodons. But that’s not all – the platform lights up and plays music when the base is turned.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
