The Greatest Yacht Rock Revival was a smash, thanks to YOU Nation of Smooth!  We could go on a hyperbole-filled rant about the greatness of Little River Band, Ambrosia, Peter Beckett of Player, Walter Egan, the impromptu reunion of Starbuck after 30 years(!), Ill-Eagles, Schooner, and – most of all – ourselves… but most of [...]

Don’t ever let someone tell you that staging a festival reviving an entire genre of under-appreciated music is easy.  From massive tent rentals to beer sponsors, from volunteer schedules to big band riders, from press releases to assembling 1,000 John Oates fans… we’ve been working hard for a long time to bring you our very [...]

This week we’re on the road to Nashville to play at the Mercy Lounge Friday night (TICKETS.)  The show will feature a special guest appearance from legit ’70s yacht rocker WALTER EGAN, the artist behind the smash hit “Magnet and Steel,” writer for Gram Parsons and others, and friend of Fleetwood Mac!  His appearance is [...]

Reagan Rock Prom II was a bash!  Productions of that magnitude always wear us out: we learn a lot of tunes, storm a lot of brains, and engage in a lot of crafts to make the show happen.  It’s nice when it comes off so smoothly… and with air conditioning.  If you [...]

If you need a clue [...]

Singing “The Star Spangled Banner” (video) at a National League Divisional Series playoff game is an honor.  That it was Bobby Cox’s final game as skipper of the Atlanta Braves made it epic!
And meeting Ted Turner was otherworldly.  We were hanging out in the green room when Captain Courageous himself blew into the room and [...]

Attention all Buckheads (not to be confused with Dead Heads):  The Yacht Rock Revue returns to Andrews Upstairs, er, 8 Traxx Disco on Friday night in a rare B-head appearance!  It’s an early show, with doors at 9pm and music VERY shortly thereafter.  TICKETS.
Last week’s Please PleaseRock Me show at Smith’s was good times – [...]

What a weekend!  Welcome to all of the new members of the Nation of Smooth who were introduced to us at the Peachtree Road Race and Atlanta Braves game on July 4!
You’ve probably noticed by now that while Yacht Rock Revue is our most popular band, we do lots of different stuff ranging from Led [...]
