Yachtley Crew
Musical Act From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yachtley Crew (stylized as Yächtley Crëw, with a metal umlaut over the a and e) is an American yacht rock band from Los Angeles, California, formed in 2017.[1] The band is known for wearing nautical attire on stage while playing 1970s and 1980s soft rock hits.[2]
Soon after forming, Yachtley Crew quickly gained recognition and was voted 2018's "Best Cover Band" by OC Weekly who dubbed them "the Steel Panther of the high seas".[3] On several occasions, they played with the original artists of the songs they frequently perform including Elliot Lurie of Looking Glass[4] and Peter Beckett of Player.[5] Las Vegas Review Journal hailed "It would be tempting to describe Yächtley Crëw simply as a cover band. But it is more. It is a trend-setter, a movement, an ocean spray to the face during the torrid summer months."[6]
After limited touring in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band played their first national tour to sold out crowds across the United States in 2021.[7] The band also toured with the LA-based pop trio Raynes (band).[8] In 2022, Yachtley Crew announced that they had signed a record deal with Jimmy Buffett owned label Mailboat Records.[9] On July 14, 2023, they released their first record "Seas the Day". It was produced and mixed by the legendary Chris Lord-Alge.[10]
