Join us for a great night of Yacht Rock LIVE at the Piston! What is Yacht Rock? Come and find out! There will be live performances of all your favourite Yacht Rock covers, songs by bands such as the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, The Eagles, Toto, Joe Jackson, Seals and Croft, Journey, Christopher Cross and more!

If you or your band wants to play, please send us a message here at Indie Night!

P.S. this is not easy music to play, which is why we created the event so early: to give us time to get our sh#$ together, people. Rock on!

*"Yacht rock (originally known as the West Coast Sound or adult-oriented rock) is a broad music style and aesthetic identified with soft rock. It was one of the commercially successful genres of its era, existing between the late 1970s and early 1980s. Drawing on sources such as smooth soul, smooth jazz, R&B, funk, and disco, common stylistic traits include high-quality production, clean vocals, and a focus on light, catchy melodies. Its name, coined in the 2000s by the makers of the online video series Yacht Rock, was derived from its association with the popular Southern Californian leisure activity of sailing." - Wikipedia.
