As we reported two weeks ago, Jimmy Buffett will play a free show at his new Margaritaville Cafe in Glendale, Arizona. The date is now set: Wednesday, April 9th, according to AZCentral.com.

Although the private concert is free, tickets are required for entry. Fans can win pairs of tickets through various Valley media outlets or by visiting Margaritaville, in Westgate City Center. Winners of tickets will be chosen nightly at the restaurant.

The Glendale Margaritaville opened in November. Just last month, Buffett opened another Margaritaville in Panama City, Florida.

Update – Margaritaville.com has more:

Glendale is celebrating their Grand Opening with an intimate concert for Arizona residents by none other than Jimmy Buffett himself! Tickets will be offered for this exclusive show through daily drawings from entries received at Margaritaville Glendale and online. Five pairs of tickets will be given away online every day between April 1st and April 8th, and only one entry per person per day is allowed. Read the rules, and if you’re an Arizona resident, enter now for your chance to win!

Jimmy Buffett’s number one selling album of all time, “Songs You Know By Heart” is going green. As part of Wal-Mart’s “Earth Month” promotion, you can purchase a copy of Buffett’s greatest hits album that is environmentally friendly:

All of the albums from Universal Music Enterprises (UMe), the U.S. catalog and special markets entity for UMG, will be offered in the new REPAK(R) CD package, an all paperboard option containing third-party certified, renewable recycled board and recyclable paper. The REPAK’s design features a unique recessed cavity to hold the disc snugly and safely in place, completely eliminating the need for a plastic hub or tray.

The “Songs You Know By Heart” package is 100% recyclable and biodegradable. It also includes a blow in card containing seeds for planting and allows you to get three free MP3 downloads from a selection of 30 titles. These free songs will be downloaded to your computer – they are yours to keep courtesy of Wal-Mart Music!

You can purchase the environmentally friendly album here for only $8.82.
