Radio Margaritaville

Like many Parrotheads, JD Spradlin’s first Jimmy Buffett concert changed the course of his life. That night, November 20, 1983, in Spradlin’s hometown of Tallahassee may be a slightly blurred memory, but he still has the tequila bottle that was consumed as a reminder. Spradlin knew then that he wanted to entertain. After working with kids and DJing in his hometown, he moved to Orlando to continue his career. His talents as a DJ, MC, and host soon reached every major Orlando theme park. In 2007, he landed the perfect gig as host for SiriusXM’s Radio Margaritaville. When not broadcasting live from the Orlando SiriusXM Parrot Perch, you will find him taking his show on the road in support of Margaritaville venues and Parrothead clubs from Key West to California.

Raised in the picturesque town of Safety Harbor, FL, in what could be the setting for Margaritaville, Kirsten grew up with a lifelong passion for music, travel, sunshine, and water. The irony is that she works so hard she barely has time for margaritas. Besides being a daily host on Radio Margaritaville, she is the program director as well as one of the (non-singing) voices of the Margaritaville Brand promoting various Margaritaville products and resort locations.

Born into an entertainment family, Renee Adams grew up in Detroit, MI, and moved to Orlando at the age of 19 to peruse a career in entertainment and to become famous. She spent ten years with the Baja Beach Club company as the entertainment director. In 1998, she was hired as the first female disc jockey to perform for the Walt Disney World Company. With her amazing energy and ability to connect with a crowd, she has entertained kids and families for the last 20 years. She is also a writer and show director for the Disney Cruise Line, a freelance writer for Royal Caribbean and Carnival Cruise Line, and author of 14 children’s books (the Two Facts and a Fib series). Her love for music, writing, water, and the sun has sent her on a journey that has rightfully led to Radio Margaritaville. She currently lives in Orlando, FL, with her two kids and her dog Zac Brown. If you ask Adams about her accomplishments, she will always tell you “Yep, I’m famous if you’re eight!”

Sara West is a Tallahassee Lassie and coincidentally went to the same high school as Radio Margaritaville DJ JD Spradlin. She moved to colder climes, but still prefers flip-flops and the smell of sunscreen any day of the year. She hosted an Aspen Jimmy Buffett (as Freddie and the Fishsticks) concert and got back on the beach.
