Yacht Rock Revue

Yacht Rock Revue is an American rock band formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2007. Performing primarily covers, the band's set list is centered around "yacht rock", a genre coined by the mid 2000s web series of the same name that consists primarily of soft rock from the 1970s and 1980s and at times includes songs from the early 1990s. The band was formed by members of the since-defunct indie rock band Y-O-U after an ironic performance of soft rock hits at a local club gig took off into a weekly residency. Yacht Rock Revue started as a side project and grew into the main focus for all seven band members: Peter Olson, Nicholas Niespodziani, Mark Cobb, Greg Lee, Mark Bencuya, Mark Dannells, and David Freeman. The band has a contract with Live Nation and tours nationally, playing more than 100 shows a year and selling out theaters in Los Angeles, Boston, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. To keep up with demand, the band members launched a subsidiary band, Yacht Rock Schooner, in 2009. In late 2019, the band released their first original single, "Step". Further, they announced their first album of original material, Hot Dads in Tight Jeans, which was released on February 21, 2020.
