Smooth rock and pop to be played in Melbourne CBD

Melbourne CBD residents who enjoy mellow music can soon join the audience for an evening of light rock.

Yacht Rock Revival is a local tribute band, specialising in well-loved tunes from the 1970s and ‘80s. Consisting of eight members, the band is led by vocalist Susan Marsden.

As a genre, yacht rock refers to soft rock or easy listening, with a focus on memorable, catchy melodies and a slow- to mid-tempo. It has also previously been known as adult-oriented rock or the West Coast sound (rooted in Southern California).

For many, the most influential yacht rock performer is considered to be Michael McDonald. The term did not actually emerge until 2005, and this was as a direct result of the comedy web series called Yacht Rock.

Songs on the playlist might include Toto by Africa, Can’t Go for That by Hall and Oates, What a Fool Believes by The Doobie Brothers and Ride Like the Wind by Christopher Cross.

Bands often bring Promotional Products to venues as a means of raising funds and their profile. These items might include hoodies, T-Shirts, baseball caps, tote Bags and CDs, among others.

Yacht Rock Revival will be appearing on Friday, 11 December at 7.30 pm, with doors opening at 6 pm. The venue is Bird’s Basement, which can be found on 11 Singers Lane, Melbourne. Tickets cost from $50.
