June 24, 20196 yr Buddy of mine is in this band. They all do this full time and actually have people that follow them around on their tours. Based in Atlanta, but play all along the Atlantic coast. They make a TON of money doing private parties. One company paid for them to play a party in Costa Rica recently. A few times a year, they do these huge revival shows and have the original singers play with them. People like Walter Egan, Nick Gilder, Peter Becket, Jeff Carlise, etc.
June 25, 20196 yr Wife and I attended a lavish wedding in Dallas for a good friend's daughter a few summers ago. The party band was awesome...studio quality musicians, singers, back up singers...sumbisches could nail any song you could think of. I'm talking Broadway showmanship...and their fee was commensurate.

Last night, Brisket sang “the sailors say Brandy, you’re a fine girl, what a GOOD WIFE you would be!” loudly, in the car, annoying the kids. It was awesome. I was awesome. Brandy was awesome. But my life, my lover, my lady..is the sea.
June 25, 20196 yr Always felt like this lyric Brandy wears a braided chainMade of finest silver from the North of SpainA locket that bears the nameOf the man that Brandy loved And this lyric So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain are related.

July 16, 20196 yr I always thought Atlanta Rhythm Section just enjoyed doing Classic IV songs. Then I found out some ARS's members were previously in Classics IV. Explains a lot. Carry on.
July 30, 20196 yr Not really yacht rock but an underrated Dr. Hook jam with a fantastic horndog video:

I saw ARS once -- in Chicago at Navy Pier. My Dad and I were checking out colleges in the area, and we found out about Summerfest (or whatever it was called). Only rock concert my pop ever saw. I think he actually liked it.
July 31, 20196 yr Jesus, 3 pages and none of one of the GOAT Yacht music bands. Take one and pass it down.

I fucking hate "Your kiss" or whatever it's called as well. Int you dislike Private Eyes - but I'm a child of the 90s so I tend to be way less burnt out on a lot of 80s music and that style/aesthetic in general.

August 1, 20196 yr I don't think Hall & Oates are remotely "yacht rock". They're a soul act that leveraged a pop approach.

August 10, 20196 yr Maybe not, but that album deserves its own thread.I can also tell when my wife has been in my car because XM is off channel 70.
May 26, 20232 yr I don’t I sow why the Yacht Rock channel is such a big deal. The Bridge pretty much plays the same shit year round.That said, I dig the yacht rock channel.There’s also these guys for those who are interestedhttps://www.yachtleycrew.com
May 31, 20232 yr I've seen these guys at the Moody Amphitheater a couple of years ago. They are coming back to Austin in August with Kenny Loggins in tow. Yacht Rock Revue
May 31, 20232 yr I skimmed back through three pages and saw no mention of how "Steal Away" by Robbie Dupree is a total rip-off of "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers, so I guess I'll be the one to say it: "Steal Away" by Robbie Dupree is a total rip-off of "What A Fool Believes" by the Doobie Brothers

November 30, 20241 yr Yep. Definitely worth watching. Who knew Christopher Cross was quite the drug dealer in his early years?
