Yacht Rock Band Yachty by Nature

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 6 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 Yacht Rock 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.

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 Yacht Rock 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!

House of Blues April 2!

Ahoy, House of Blues Anaheim is calling and Yachty by Nature plays the big stage on April 2.  house of blues anaheim power serge yachty by nature yacht rock party concert live show captains ticketFurthermore, Yachty was the first yacht rock band to play at House of Blues Anaheim!  Uniquely, we rocked the Foundation Room a few times back in 2017.  Breaking the doors down like we do, this was yet another in a long line of firsts for the band.  For example, first yacht rock band in Orange County and first to play nationwide.  Likewise, the smooth pleasure cruise continues in the House of Blues’ 2,000 seat venue with 80’s glam metal band, Power Serge.

Importantly, the yacht rock party starts at 7pm.  Yachty by Nature will take the stage and then the night will finish wiht a super entertaining set by Power Serge.  These guys are epic!  Don’t miss the boat on this one-of-a-kind yacht concert.  In fact, click this ticket link to drop anchor with us!

NEWSFLASH!!!  House of Blues April 2 is not requiring vaccination status/testing for attendance any longer!  Importantly, it’s so encouraging to get back to Live concerts.  So, here we go, don’t miss the boat.

Yacht Rock Party

With so many great live venues coming up, House of Blues will be our crowning jewel of a show.  In addition, we’re adding fun stuff all the time.  Moreover, mark that calendar and chart a course for adventure.  The band travels to Northern California a couple times this summer, Paso Robles in August and even Jacksonville, FL in July.  Importantly, we’ll have a Catalina Wine Mixer of a time in Catalina on May 29!  As always, we’ll have a select few concerts in the park to look forward to.  However, let’s look to the immediate future on some truly remarkable destinations:

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT

House of Blues will be another huge concert for us!  However, it goes without saying that this has been an incredible 6 year ride for Southern California’s #1 yacht rock band.  We couldn’t do it without you.  In fact, with Covid 19 wreaking havoc and postponing our shows at great venues like Pala Casino and Catalina Island and shows coast to coast.  As we get beyond this, it has been YOU, our fans that keep Yacht Rock and our smooth shows rockin.  Additionally, these have been crazy times.  Thus, stay tuned for our shows to resume in Las Vegas and Arizona particularly where we haven’t been back in quite some time.  We really appreciate your patience!  Moreover, in the words of Bartles and Jaymes, thank you for your support.

House of Blues… what to wear!

When in doubt on your yacht rock attire, make sure and read Captain Carl’s manifesto on yacht rock outfits!  In addition, we always encourage our crowd to dress to impress and feel that yachty vibe completely.  In fact, there’s nothing quite like looking out on our audience and seeing the 70’s, country club, and yacht club mojo working overtime.  Above all, check our instagram feed for examples of all the fun that our concerts inspire.  Whether it’s stripes, captain’s hats, bell bottoms, 80’s, 70’s, or a night out on the marina or golf club, you can’t go wrong.  In fact, get creative, feel good, and go for it.  Catalina Wine Mixer just like Lionel Richie…All Night Long!

Can’t wait to get yachty with you and make sure to join us on Bandsintown for up-to-the-minute concerts.  Lots of fun shows coming up.

Yacht Rock 2022

By : Captain Carl | Comments : No comment | Category : Yachty by Nature

Yacht Rock 2022 here we come!

Happy New Year to one nation under the SMOOTH.  It’s hard to imagine that COVID-19 is still wreaking havoc on live music.  However, it’s a new year and Yachty by Nature is looking forward to some great shows coming up.  The band is only bigger, better, stronger, and YACHTIER.  So, cheers to an epic Yacht Rock 2022 ahead.

Captain Carl and Admiral Jackson cheers!

Unfortunately, our show at San Diego Yacht Club for New Year’s Eve was cancelled but we’ll be back this year.  Yachty by Nature managed to play a few last shows in 2021 and put the year to beddy bye.  Somehow we didn’t jump overboard this year and still dropped anchor at Gaslamp Long Beach in November!  Moreover, in December we managed a couple fun shows at Country Club Costa Mesa and for our buddy Jarrod at Rush Bar for their company party.

In fact, the show at Country Club in Costa Mesa stands out as a beautiful last hurrah before the holidays.  Importantly, we hope you enjoyed that video above of the Saxiest Man Alive jamming out to a capacity crowd.  And, we had Kelly Dodd and her husband Rick in attendance from the Real Housewives of Orange County and they LOVED getting yachty with us for Yacht Rock 2022!

 

Yacht Rock returns to Stillwater!

Amazingly, last week, we fought through the sea of Omicron out there and managed a really fun show at Stillwater in Dana Point.  Importantly, that’s the spot we opened the door to yacht rock in Orange County.  Back in 2016, we were the first yacht rock band in the OC.  Additionally, we were the only one in Southern California to travel across the country playing smooth music.  It’s been a couple years since we played these friendly confines and it was so fun to be back.  Ben Shreddin’ happened to be out, and we were lucky enough to have Orange County shredder, Matt Hocking from the Creepers sit in on guitar.

Oh what a night!  Stay tuned South Orange County, we’ll have more to celebrate soon.  Lots of cool shows for the spring and summer.  And, Vegas and Arizona we haven’t forgotten about you!  We are always working to get back out there and get yachty!!!

Speaking of which, our next scheduled public shows are few and far between so mark that calendar :).  We don’t have a public concert in February so far, so make sure and get out to Biergarten on January 29.  Ticket link is on the Bandsintown app and Facebook event, but here’s another shot at it.  Biergarten 1/29/22.  And, here’s a look at Yacht Rock 2022 at current.

Plenty of public shows upcoming and thanks for all the love and support.  Can’t wait to see you out there and get through this rough couple years.  We need the smooth music of yacht rock 2022 now more than ever.  Additionally, we can’t wait to see your smiling faces out at the yacht rock concert soon!  As always, we have some great new song choices to play for you and recommend you telling us your requests as well.  The band has been playing some fun but low key shows as we can and then rehearsing some pretty kickass tunes.  We guarantee that you’ll love some deep cuts, more Little River Band, and fun times ahead!

Anchors Aweigh, Captain Carl
