    This very popular summer, style of music took hold a few years ago. Boz Scaggs, Seals and Crofts, Christopher Cross, are known as Yacht Rock artists. Know one really knows why it’s attached to a yacht. Maybe because these artists have large boats?

    What is left for Yacht Rock Revue to prove? This top-notch group of musicians has already rocked onstage with John Oates, Eddie Money (RIP), and both versions of the band Player. They’ve trademarked the term “yacht rock,” both metaphorically and literally (U.S. Registration Number 3834195). From humble beginnings in a basement, touring in partnership with Live Nation and Sirius XM, they now headline sold-out shows across the country, from Webster Hall in New York to the Wiltern in L.A. While ​rising from bars to amphitheaters, t​hey’ve ticked every box on the Rock Star Accomplishments bingo card. Except for one: Writing and singing their own songs.
