Yacht Rock Party on a mission – Yachty by Nature

Yacht Rock Party band on a mission – Yachty by Nature!

Yacht Rock Party Band, Yachty by Nature is turning 3 years old and celebrating smooth the entire month of June!  This yacht crew began in our hearts and minds many years ago.  However, it took some extraordinary events and individuals to make it happen.  If you look in the archives of our posts, you’ll find the fun story of Scotty and Captain Carl hearing the word yacht rock for the first time.  In fact, it still gives us chills to know that a genre of music finally encapsulated all the AM gold greats we heard in the back of the station wagon!  Even better, we are so grateful to our fans that appreciate the hard work and dedication to get the music right, while other bands phone it in with backing tracks.

This band is on fire and we thank each and every Yachty by Nature follower for making us the very hottest in yacht!  We had one mission at the beginning.  To climb this mountain of amazing tunes and cover them ALL LIVE starting a yacht rock revolution!  Ultimately, this mission is well under way, no one is playing more, nationally and all LIVE than this band!  In fact, we’ve even inspired bands to copy what we’re doing.  Imagine that.  Having tribute bands of Yachty by Nature…incredible.

Yacht Rock Party central in June

In June, we’ve got some covert action that we wish you were invited to.  But we also have some excellent venues for you to get down with.  We christened the month with a phenomenal wedding in Big Bear Lake.  In fact, the skies opened up and poured rain on the event making the dance floor one slippery affair.  However, these stalwart yacht party enthusiasts, came right back and skated to Baby Come Back.  In addition, they threw caution to the wind to get on the dance floor anyways.   And, as it was hailing on us, you KNOW we blessed the rains in Africa.

We’ll get some of those photos and videos to show what a crazy yacht party can be.  This event won’t be forgotten for quite a while.  In fact, we’ve racked up quite a bit of yacht weddings but this one took the cake.  And, no Donna Summer, no one left the cake out in the rain.  Congratulations to Cory and Emily, that was one historic yacht rock wedding love fest with some blessed rains indeed.

Now, on to the next port!  We’ll have a private community concert in the park on June 8 and then Rancho Family Fest on June 9 at 12p.  That one will surely be a Sunday Funday with Tijuana Dogs playing at the end of the day.  Nothing like OC’s favorite yacht rock band and the always popular TJ dogs in a huge Sea Legs venue built for 5,000.  As always, we’ll grace your champagne, rose, and bloody mary Sunday with your favorite 70’s and 80’s soft rock.  Don’t miss the boat.  For the rest of the Yachty June, check the dates below:

Yachty Schedule

6.1, private wedding Big Bear

June 8, private community concert

6.9, Rancho Family Fest, Rancho Santa Margarita at 12p along with the Tijuana Dogs, Kelly Rae Band, and Above the Noise

June 14, The Fifth rooftop bar/restaurant, Anaheim at 830p

So, take your pick or come to a few or all of our shows!  Additionally, the band is just ramping up for an epic summer, new tunes, and yachty fun ahead.  In fact, we got a great response last month from our survey about new songs and we’re busy woodshedding to make those happen.

Yachty Merch

To all of our Yachties out there, don’t forget to purchase your Yachty by Nature merch!  We have the super comfy grey t-shirts for sale here.  So, click on the Yachty Merch store and get outfitted and represent your favorite yacht rock band.  As always, it’s great when our fans wear the captains hats and general yacht rock attire out there.  However, there’s nothing quite like a fresh YBN t-shirt from the Yachty store.  Click The Merch Website to get your t-shirt and make a statement as a Yachty by Nature fan!  In fact, feel free to send us pictures of you in your Yachty gear.  Post to us on Facebook and Instagram, email to us, or send us a note here on the website.

Exceptionally, we really do care about Yacht Attire and in our next Captain’s Log, we’ll discuss what makes a yacht rock party go on the outfit front.  Not everyone is bringing their A game to the yacht and we’d love to educate our captains and captainettes on the ins and outs of great yacht clothing.  In fact, we’re pushing to get more tennis sweaters, ascots, jean meat, and bell bottoms out to our shows this summer.  More importantly, it all starts with the captain’s hat, but there’s so much fun to be had with yacht attire!

Yacht Rock Radio

Don’t forget, Yacht Rock Radio is back for the summer on Sirius/XM.  As a matter of fact, you can find truly verified yacht rock songlist on Certified playlist on Spotify!  As you may know, those guys from the Beyond Yacht Rock podcast put together that Certified list and you can always check their Yacht or Nyacht list of true and certified yacht rock songs.  In addition, it sounds like Yacht Rock Radio on Sirius/XM has added some new tunes to their play as well, so let’s get some deep yacht going.  In fact, as a yacht rock party band, we love playing your favorites on stage.  Moreover, we certainly appreciate and try to include the deep cuts of smooth yacht rock music.  So, don’t be afraid to expand your yacht rock song list with those deeper cuts 🙂

Mellow Month of May!

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

Mellow Month of May!!!

Coming off an epic April, Yachty by Nature is enjoying the sweet soothing rest of a relaxed May.  In fact, we haven’t had two weekends off for about a year now!  So, a Mellow Month of May was well deserved.  As always, thank you so much for all the love and support, the band is on FIRE. We’ve had to say no to more gigs than we’d like.  But we are also ramping up for an ultra smooth pleasure cruise this summer.

The end of April was a fun swing thru Fullerton at Slidebar, a new venue at Back Bay Bistro, and Laguna’s Grapes for Grads.  Interestingly, the power outage in Newport Beach shocked the crowd at the end of a killer show on the water.  And the next day, April 28, the band rocked the yacht at the Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters grounds.  In fact, we made the local news in Laguna Beach at Stu News.  As always it was a blast raising money and wine tasting with our Laguna Beach friends.  Indeed, it was a an amazingly fun way to end the month and kick off to the seas of smooth for a couple weeks.

Mellow Gold May

As always, Yachty by Nature is constantly adding sweet new tunes and savoring our crowd’s thirst for smooth 70’s.  Additionally, we just added a trip to the Midwest in October as the only West Coast yacht rock band to play not only the East Coast in North Carolina but now the Midwest.  In fact, our friends over at the Ron Burgundy band in Chicago are seeing a really successful time and we’ve even entertained some of their fans at a show we did in Arizona.  We love that crossover and moreover, we love to see yacht rock tribute bands playing ALL LIVE!  Speaking of AM Gold, it’s been really fun to add songs like She’s Gone as such soft rock showstoppers all the way live.  So, count on more of that always.

Next up, the Mellow Month of May will kick off with our shows out in Palm Springs.  What a smooth privilege to follow up the band Berlin who kicked off the Palm Desert Concerts in the Park.  Yachty by Nature brings 70’s and 80’s soft smooth to Palm Desert on May 16 at 7:30pm.  Additionally, it’s a free show, outside, and a great way to kick off the season of smooth.  Summer is gonna get Yachty!  Next, we drop anchor for the tiki crowd at a SOLD OUT event at Tiki Caliente on May 17 at 8:00pm.

May 16 Palm Desert Concert in the Park 7:30pm

Groovy Yacht Rock summer tour!

This groovy summer, your favorite Yacht Rock tribute band will be hitting the road for plenty of outdoor concerts.  Mellow month of May is here!  As it stands, mark that calendar for smooth seas ahead.  Take a look at all the outdoor concert stages where we will rock the yacht:  Palm Desert, San Clemente, Rancho Santa Margarita (plus Rancho Fest), Chino Hills, Fountain Valley (Summerfest), Diamond Bar, Calimesa, Monrovia, and Laguna Beach.  Of course, we’ll post specific dates and times both here and on social media.  We are pumped to add some new cities and frequent other towns like Palm Desert for the 2nd year in a row.  In fact, they had super 80’s group Berlin open their sweet Summer Concert Series.  Nothing like playing the same stage as those 80’s rockers.

Smooth New Venues…

In addition, Yachty by Nature will be mellow soft rockin’ some of our favorite haunts like Sea Legs, The Fifth, and Costello’s.  But we add some new destinations like Jamul Casino in San Diego and The District in Tustin as well.  No matter what, it’s gonna be a smooth cruise as always.

Mellow Month of May new tunes

We just posted a survey on Facebook to inquire what songs our fans want.  It was very telling and fun to see the tunes that resonate with our Yachtience.  In addition, we found that many were looking for the Kenny Loggins hit, This is It.  Shockingly, it was one of the songs we already had on our list and practiced it last night.  It’s gonna be SMOOTH!  As always, bear with us as we are working hard to put together the show and the songs that make us #1.  Over the last few gigs, we have added Summer Breeze, She’s Gone, and Give me the Night.  Nothing like Scotty McYachty singing his butt off and Ira shakin’ it to some George Benson.  We really appreciate your support and love that when we add some super tunes, they are so well received.

As I have been saying lately, the band is really doing some special stuff.  Count on us to continue to bring you the best LIVE yacht rock show out there.  In the end, reach out and help us add those new tunes.  If you have some favorites, feel free to email us or post to Facebook and Instagram.  In fact, we just posted up that survey and we had some great requests.  Additionally, Yachty by Nature will do our best to add those to our song list.  And, just recently, we practiced FM by Steely Dan and Dancing in the Moonlight, two yachty hammers.

Yachty Merch

Last but not least, order your t-shirts and captains hats ONLINE!  Our shirts are selling all across the country.  As always, we love to see all that Yachty love out there.  And, nothing easier than donning that one of a kind Yachty t-shirt!  Importantly, the yacht rock outfits are super important.  Buy a shirt and make this the very best mellow month of May!  These shirts are super comfy, retro and vintage style and make the statement that you get Yachty!  Moreover, let’s rep Yachty by Nature!  #yachtrock #mellow #mellowgold #amgold #monthofmay #mellowmay #yachtybynature

OC Yacht Rock band Spring into Soft Rock

Thanks for all the support, here at YBN, we’re working hard to bring the hottest in LIVE soft rock.  In fact, we’ve recently added some new tunes especially featuring those big vocals on She’s Gone by Hall and Oates.  Beginning at Marty’s on Newport, we cracked open that song and featured it on our last few shows to an amazing response.  From sold out shows at Campus Jax and The Fifth, we’re so fortunate to have you as phenomenal fans.  We really enjoy the love and especially that people see our passion for the music.  Especially, we always play live and are so proud to be able to play these tunes without the help of backing tracks.  Thanks for noticing that hard work and continuing to spread the good word!

Spring into Soft Rock this Summer

So the message is clear; firstly, let’s rock the yacht and party like Spring has sprung this April.  Secondly, thanks for some really successful trips to Scottsdale Tennis Week in Arizona, Topgolf Vegas, Tropicana Laughlin, and Amazon Web Services corporate show.  As always, we love adding songs and especially enjoy our fans reaching out to request new tunes.  Keep up the good work, hope to see you this April and look forward to seeing you this summer so keep checking the calendar.  We’ll continue a residency at Sea Legs at the Beach, add a bunch of concerts in the park outside, and play our regular venues out there.
