Embark on a journey through radiant musical waters with Yacht Rock Revue, the band Rolling Stone hails as the “world’s premier soft-rock party band.” Their repertoire, spanning from the sun-kissed melodies of Steely Dan and Michael McDonald to the velvety harmonies of Hall & Oates, evokes memories of palm trees, ocean breezes, and carefree summers. The group continues to transport audiences back to the golden era of the ’70s and ’80s while charting bold new horizons in the present day.

Founded in Atlanta, GA, Yacht Rock Revue features Nicholas Niespodziani (vocals, guitars, keyboards, percussion), Peter Olson (vocals, guitars, keyboards, percussion), Greg Lee (bass, vocals), Mark Dannells (guitars, vocals), Mark Bencuya (keyboards, vocals), David B. Freeman (saxophones, keyboards, flute, piccolo, percussion, vocals), Kourtney Jackson (vocals, percussion), Jason Nackers (drums), and Ganesh Giri Jaya (drums). Their collective musicianship elevates each performance into an immersive, joy-filled escape.

Released in late 2024, their original concept album, Escape Artist, marked a major milestone for the band as their first release of original music since Hot Dads In Tight Jeans. After an unforgettable 2023 run with Kenny Loggins and a 2024 touring season that included a 44-city Summer Road Trip Tour with Train and REO Speedwagon, Yacht Rock Revue continues to build momentum in 2025 with a run of sold-out shows, including The Paramount in Huntington (two nights), Ryman Auditorium, Humphrey’s in San Diego (two nights), Pier 17 in New York, Wolf Trap, Leader Bank Pavilion in Boston (two nights), and the Salt Shed in Chicago. Their live shows remain unabashedly joyous affairs, praised by The New York Times for their liberating energy and by Entertainment Weekly for their ability to turn any venue into a sea of dancing fans.

From humble beginnings in a basement in 2007 to sharing stages with legends like Robbie Dupree, Elliot Lurie, Matthew Wilder, John Oates, and the late Eddie Money, Yacht Rock Revue has transformed what was once considered a guilty pleasure into a thriving, respected art form.

At the heart of Yacht Rock Revue’s success is their devoted fanbase, the “Anchorheads”—a vibrant community celebrating music, nostalgia, and connection. Niespodziani describes them as “wonderful people, musical omnivores and exactly the kind of fans you dream about having as a young musician.” 

Whether you’re a longtime aficionado of the yacht rock era or a newcomer to its smooth grooves, Yacht Rock Revue promises an unforgettable journey across the azure waters of musical history. So, don your captain’s hat and set sail with Yacht Rock Revue for a melodic adventure like no other.
