Yachty By Nature based in Orange County, California New England’s Hall & Boats Nashville’s Monsters of Yacht the Los Angeles-based Yächtley Crew and a female-fronted group out of Chicago called Yacht Rock-ettes.
They also jumped on cruises themed around KISS, Kid Rock and even “Star Trek.”Ĭopycats have proliferated nationwide, with puns firmly attached. People began asking them to perform at weddings, corporate events and private parties.īy 2011, they were all able to quit their day jobs and focus solely on Yacht Rock Revue.Īround that time, Andy Levine, founder of the Atlanta-based, music-themed cruise company Sixthman, placed the band on two of his Rock Boat cruise ships with Sister Hazel and multiple cruises with the group Train. “If I weren’t in this band, I think I’d be a hater.”įor four years, Yacht Rock Revue kept the weekly 10 High gig, each member pocketing $100 a night, but their popularity led them to bigger venues, first Buckhead’s Andrews Upstairs, then the larger Park Tavern by Piedmont Park. “I’m surprised how few people snicker at us,” he added in 2009. The indie rock part of him felt “a little evil” making money off this type of music: “Sometimes I feel like I’m part of the problem, not the solution.

Nicole Jurovics, a former 10 High talent booker, recalled feeling both bemused and oddly taken by the show. Something clicked that Friday evening at 10 High for the 150 inebriated, sweaty audience members and the band members on stage.
