Yachtley Crew

Yachtley Crew is a Los Angeles area based band of talented and tenured musicians with a common set of goals: to entertain music lovers with some of the greatest songs ever written back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, and to have as much fun as possible while performing those hits. Some fans may know it as “soft rock”, others may identify it as “yacht rock”, a more recently coined phrase. One thing is for sure, Yachtley Crew takes their sound very seriously. They pay tribute to the songs by nailing the performances, but also blow the crowds away with their live presence, group banter and on-stage antics.
