What is Yacht Rock?
Yacht rock is the smooth side of classic rock. It's the late ’70s and early ’80s hits built on stacked harmonies, tight rhythm sections, and melodies you forgot you knew. It’s the perfect blend of Steely Dan precision, Hall & Oates hooks, Toto musicianship, and Michael McDonald soul.
As a yacht rock tribute band, Yacht Party brings all of that and more to audiences around the Midwest. By mixing hit songs and deep cuts with genre-adjacent tracks that get audiences pumped up, they start the party wherever they go!
