WHAT IS "YACHT ROCK", ANYWAY?
Wikipedia claims yacht rock has elements of soul, jazz, R&B, funk, disco, and traits that include high-quality production, clean vocals, and a focus on light, catchy melodies. But what they don't mention is how much fun these songs are to sing and dance along to with us!
Just imagine you're slowly sailing into a chartreuse sunset - a warm Pacific breeze tussling your hair. You're sipping on a cool pina colada while the 8-track hi-fi serenades you with your favorite smooth rock hits. Your toes begin to tap the shag carpet, an undeniable smile crosses your lips and your hips begin to sway involuntarily to the sultry sounds.
That's "Yacht Rock" and it's appearing live on a stage near you soon!
Still not sure what you're getting in to? We've curated some playlists to help put you in the mood...
