Yachtley Crew

Yachtley Crew brings the smooth sounds of 70s and 80s soft rock to audiences, solidifying their presence as a prominent ‘Yacht Rock’ tribute act and recording artist. After being voted 2018’s ‘Best Cover Band’ by OC Weekly, Yachtley Crew solidified their presence as a premier ‘yacht rock’ tribute act, celebrated for their faithful renditions of 1970s and 1980s soft rock hits. Emerging in 2017, the band quickly distinguished itself with captivating performances characterized by authentic nautical attire and a repertoire that earned them critical acclaim, with OC Weekly noting their unique style as ‘the Steel Panther of the high seas.’ This early recognition highlighted their capacity to entertain and connect with audiences through a distinctive persona. Yachtley Crew further demonstrated their musical prowess and appeal within the genre by performing with original artists such as Elliot Lurie of Looking Glass and Peter Beckett of Player.

Looking ahead, Yachtley Crew has confirmed plans for a new album slated for release in 2025. This upcoming project is set to include the song ‘Pain of Losing You,’ penned by legendary songwriter Diane Warren, alongside a curated selection of 70s and 80s American songbook favorites. These continued endeavors underscore Yachtley Crew’s commitment to both honoring the yacht rock genre and expanding their original contributions, reinforcing their position as a leading force in the contemporary music scene.
