Boat House Row

Yacht Rock Experience

Saturday, January 18, 2025, 7 pm

Home of your ultimate guilty pleasures. Presenting Boat House Row; a Yacht Rock experience like no other, bringing you the silky sounds of soft rock from the late 70s and early 80s.

In the musical sense, yacht rock refers to the highly polished brand of soft rock that emanated from Southern California between 1976 and 1984. The term is meant to suggest the kind of smooth, mellow music that early yuppies likely enjoyed while sipping champagne on their yachts.

Significant “yacht rockers” include Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Toto and many more.
