Yacht Rock Tribute

Ahoy Yacht Rock Nation.  This summer of 2022 is shaping up to be one for the ages.  In fact, Yachty by Nature and our Yacht Rock tribute is flying higher than ever.  This smooth band is buoyed by our amazing fans, new songs, and fun shows all over the country.  Importantly, make sure to FOLLOW us on the Bandsintown app for the ultimate calendar and then, we’ll post upcoming concerts right here.  Moreover, we’ve played a ton of private parties this last month, but check out what we have coming up!

Smooth Cruise

Since April, it’s been such a smooth ride!  Specifically, playing House of Blues in front of 1,200 people was a massive event.   As always, our yacht rock tribute over at Sea Legs was a blast and sailing to Catalina Island was possibly the smoothest ride ever.  Thanks to our amazing fans for taking the trip and getting Yachty on Descanso Beach.  The weather was perfect, the band was on point and we got to share the stage with our friends, Redneck Rodeo!

Finest moment:  Scotty McYachty, Captain Carl and Ben Shreddin’ harmonizing with the band on Wagon Wheel and Country Roads by John Denver.

June 2022

Then, it was off to Gaslamp in Long Beach and Summerfest in Fountain Valley ahead of Tijuana Dogs and DSB band.  Big Stages and big fun.  Incredibly, we journeyed to Denver for a corporate show and THREE shows in the Bay Area in the space of a couple weeks.  In fact, our yacht rock party aboard the San Francisco Belle couldn’t have been smoother.  The West Coast’s largest dining vessel was the perfect venue for this Yacht Rock Band!

Finally, our private parties ranged from super fan birthdays to a 4th of July at our buddy, Mark Sanchez’s house!  Of course, we always wish everyone was invited!  Importantly, we are so grateful for fun times, great sounding music, and a pumping crowd out at Palisades Beach Club a couple days before the Fourth.  Of course, we hope you’re listening to some Sirius/XM and Spotify channels that are playing that sweet summer AM Gold in preparation for seeing us again LIVE!

I’m on a Boat

Don’t forget to consider your Yachty attire when you come to our shows.  In fact, the possibilities are endless.  Be sure to check Captain Carl’s advice on Yacht Rock outfits when you are preparing for that smooth show.  Read that blog entry and make sure to have your Captain’s Hat handy for the fun of this yacht rock tribute.

You can flow with the Caddyshack attire or the nautical stripes or even the disco bellbottoms.  Importantly, there’s nothing that prepares you for the fun of our concert like the Yachtical clothing that propels the fun.

Yacht Rock Tribute Boat Drinks

Lastly, what are you drinking?  If you’re ready for a libation or two, certainly a Seabreeze, Mai Tai, umbrella drink or simply a Miami Vice might just do the trick.  All the fun of saying, “I’m on a Boat” will send you sailing on this fine S.S. Yachty by Nature groove.  We provide that music that sends you on an Escape!  So, Come Sail Away soon and send us some comments, good vibes, and AHOY’s to our email, social media, etc.  Set a course for adventure… we’re expecting you 🙂

Yacht Rock Band: Yachty by Nature

Yacht Rock Band extraordinaire, Yacht Rock Cover Band.  Moreover, we are Yachty by Nature!

In the first place, soft rock lovers, it’s been 7 years since we started this yacht rock adventure. Likewise, it’s certainly been a smooth pleasure cruise playing to the best Yachtiences around Southern California.  In addition, we play Las Vegas, Arizona, Northern California, Iowa, Washington, North Carolina, Florida, and coming to Denver, CO soon. Of course, we are SO grateful for such a loyal and fun-loving following! We would be nowhere without the amazing people that are coming to Get Yachty with us show after show.

Moreso, we have been so fortunate to partner with incredible venues over that haul.  For example, we are booking new and exciting places every day.  For example, House of Blues, Whisky a Go-Go, Brooklyn Bowl, TopGolf, SeaLegs, Gaslamp LB, Old World Biergarten, Canyon Club Agoura Hills, and much more.

Secondly, we had no idea that our hard work would pay off and be able to play these classic vinyl cuts ALL LIVE!  Similarly, I began writing this looking back on just 5 years ago playing a HUGE venue at Brooklyn Bowl in Las Vegas.  Likewise, it’s been crazy seeing the band take it to another level.  Indeed, it’s been a long grind through Covid 19 and the band is ready to light the stages on fire this Summer of 2022.

Yacht Rock band Tunes!

Indeed, these tunes are tough to do vocally and instrumentally.  In fact, a yacht rock band that plays it live like us is ONE OF A KIND.  Therefore, I’m so proud of this Band for applying their expert musical talents to such difficult songs.  In addition, we do add the fun, swagger, improvisation to these tunes at such a high level.  Similarly, Scotty McYachty’s vocal stylings have led the way.   Importantly, the band has responded with the groove and tightness of a top notch and NATIONAL band.

Additionally, we are a crew that is still dedicated to bringing you the embodiment of the 70’s and 80’s with all the fun of the Yacht Party.  And, we rock the vibe of the Ron Burgundy playlist (double jazz flute)!  All in all, it’s great to hear that our fans respond to that positive vibe.  It’s all about that hard work and our PASSION for YACHT ROCK!  Besides, we truly love what we do 🙂

Fantastic venues…

Additionally, how about that growing list of amazing venues that we’ve partnered with!  Topgolf in Las Vegas and Scottsdale love this Yacht Rock Band.  In fact, so do Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas, House of Blues Anaheim, Midtown Concert Series in Raleigh, NC, SeaLegs at the Beach, Tropicana Laughlin, Cal Coast Paso Robles, Canyon Club and Biergarten HB to name a few.  In addition, we’ll finally add Descanso Beach Club on Catalina Island this May 29, 2022.  We’ve done the Hornblower Yacht cruises and add San Francisco Bay to the mix in May as well.

Even Yachty weddings have been a proud feather in our cap too!  Some of the killer venues for those nuptials have been Ace Palm Springs, Catalina Museum, Tre Posti in Napa, Casa Romantica and would have included Arnold’s Park, Iowa had it not been for Covid 19.  Other honorable mention events include:  Nood Beach (when we opened for Snoop), Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale, Waste Management Open in Arizona, Delta Coves, Taste of Anaheim, Tiki Caliente, Ironwood Country Club, Terranea Resort, Dana Point Yacht Club, Black Marlin, Swallow’s Inn, Country Club Costa Mesa, and countless concerts in the park.

Yacht Rock Band #1!

Importantly, we’ve become the most prolific Yacht Rock / Soft Rock band in America.  In fact, Yachty by Nature played 500 shows  since 2016.  We’re also the only big West Coast Yacht Rock band to play TOTALLY LIVE without backing tracks. We say it a lot, but it’s just not SMOOTH when a band plays Rosanna or Africa and the keyboardist isn’t playing those big solos.  It’s being played with a karaoke track!  Thus, having the backing tracks do all the heavy lifting of these difficult tunes is so UN-YACHT ROCK. Moreover, we REALLY appreciate fans that know the difference and CELEBRATE LIVE MUSIC!  Importantly, it would be a lot easier to just press play on some backing tracks and have it sound just like the record.  Thanks again for proving our hard work is paying off.  We proudly perform with a great show of LIVE MUSIC and LIVE MUSICIANS.

Set Sail and Dress to Impress

Moreover, keep it up Southern California, this Yacht Rock Band continues to grow!  Equally important, tell a friend and check the calendar.  It’s gonna be another great summer of smooth music.  In fact, go the extra mile and take your smooth apparel to the next level!  Of course, boat shoes, deck shoes, Sperry top-siders, etc. will give you that fancy footwork that embodies smooth.  As well, the striped shirt, red pants, captains hat, popped collar will surely do.  Additionally , the 70’s bellbottoms and jean meat, floral print shirt or hawaiian shirt, white chinos, blue blazer, resort attire, and yacht apparel will ooze sophistication.  And, of course, the accessories can take you over the top:  Ray Bans, yellow and blue shades, a pipe, a scarf for men and women, an ascot, and beyond!  Moreso, check out our articles on Yacht Rock attire!

Yacht Club – rock the yacht w/ Yachty by Nature

Thanks for joining our Yacht Club.  Set sail with us this fall for sure!  This Labor Day kicked off a slew of travel gigs for Yachty by Nature in the fall.  In fact, on September 5 we played Northern California!  Yes, we had an amazing show dropping anchor at Delta Coves in Bethel Island.  Southern California’s SMOOTHEST yacht rock band came back to the friendly shores of their lagoon near Bethel Island.  Like a movie scene from Caddyshack, Delta Coves played the part of the Yacht Club.  In addition, we played the part of the S.S. Yachty by Nature captained by Rodney Dangerfield and the fun ensued.

Importantly, the show was private for the residents but it was PUBLIC for the boaters wishing to sail with us and dock up to this Island Camp event.  Incredible music, amazing sunset, and encores to boot.  The band was truly on fire and another beautiful evening on the delta!

Oh What a Night on the Great California Waterway!

Summer Cruise

With Courtney Cruise on the yacht, it’s been an amazing summer.  In fact, the smooth pleasure cruise with this crew saw tens of thousands flocking like the salmon of Capistrano to our concerts.  For example, Lake Forest garnered a crowd of 7,000 for our 4th of July concert and fireworks.  Likewise, the show in Rancho Santa Margarita numbered about 3,500 yacht rock enthusiasts.  All told, we played the cities/communities of Bellflower, Lake Forest, Brea, Irvine, Calabasas, Talega, Emerald Bay, RSM, El Segundo, Coronado, Alamitos Bay, and Lake Arrowhead.  What a thrill!  Southern California truly got Yachty with our Yacht Club this summer.  And, deservedly so!  It was amazing to show off our Cruise Director, Courtney Cruise, for so many fans that hadn’t seen her live since Covid 19.  Man, she crushed it.

So, moving forward, let’s take a look at the upcoming schedule of shows!

9/5 — Bethel Island, CA at 5pm

9/11 — Sea Legs, Huntington Beach at 4pm (new timing for the PCH closure)

Sea Legs September 11

The Yacht Club will rock on 9/11 with Yachty by Nature playing at Sea Legs in Huntington Beach!  Let’s remember this historic occasion on the 20th anniversary of the bombing on September 11 with a yacht rock concert on the sand.  One of our favorite venues and a special day for us to spend with our SoCal peeps.  Don’t miss the boat on this one.  No admission and FREE of charge.

IMPORTANT TIME CHANGE:  Because of the PCH closure on Saturday, the DJ starts at 3pm and the band comes on at 4pm!!!  And, the gate at Warner and PCH will be open.

Be sure to wear your best yacht rock outfits, yacht club garb, captain’s hats and Yachty merch.  It will be another fabulous day of smooth music in the sand at Huntington Beach.  Southern California’s hottest soft rock band hits the beach.  In fact, the vibe goes off the chart when we see our fans truly dress as such a yachty crew.

Cal Coast Beer Company

Also of note, check us out in the Central Coast on October 23.  Importantly, Yachty by Nature travels to downtown Paso Robles for this special concert.  Get your tickets now on this link.  This is going to be a PHENOMENAL time so the band is really excited.  In fact, we’ve played weddings in the area, but never played a public show.  Furthermore, it’s been a smooth ride bringing LIVE yacht rock to all these underserved areas.  We are pumped!  Likewise, check our blog post recommendations if you’d like to make a fashion statement for your next show with us.

Yacht Club forward

Stay tuned for more announcements and more yachty shows.  In fact, this year we’ll even punctuate the vibe with a visit to the San Diego Yacht Club.  What a perfect spot for the Ron Burgundy jazz flute and the SMOOTHEST yacht rock band from Sea to shining Sea.  Thanks always for your support and hope to see you out there soon.  Lots of great music going on and lately adding some deep cuts from the archives to our setlists.  Of course, we have a blast returning to the songs that don’t always make it to the show.  As always, feel free to hit us up with requests and push us to add tunes that you really love.  We are all ears!
