Tough times call for smooth tunes. This is a gathering place for fans of Yacht Rock. Stay tuned for Yacht Rock events hosted by DJ Dusty Winds, live-band shows, karaoke, polls, contests, and plenty of easy, easy updates.
“Yacht Rock” is the popular term for soft-rock, singer-songwriter tunes, one-hit wonders, and “Album Oriented Radio” (AOR) hits from the seventies and eighties.
Think Michael McDonald. The Doobie Brothers. Steely Dan. The Eagles. Orleans. Hall and Oates. Kenny Loggins (with or without Messina). Lionel Ritchie. Bread. America. Seals and Crofts. Toto. Gerry Rafferty. Asia. The Commodores. Bob Welch. Ambrosia. Earth, Wind & Fire. 10cc. Billy Joel. ELO. Al Stewart. Stevie Wonder. Fleetwood Mac. Early Michael Jackson. Gordon Lightfoot. Paul McCartney and Wings. Styx. Supertramp. Carly Simon. Boz Skaggs. Bill Withers. Ace. Air Supply. The Little River Band.
The list goes on and on.
Yacht Rock evokes a time and a place where the shirts were polyester, people met at singles bars instead of match.com, and people enjoyed—or dreamt about—an breezy, easy Southern California lifestyle.
So set sail with us. And get smooth.
