Formerly booking themselves as Live From Ventura Boulevard, this band decided to jump into the marina head first and Yacht’s Landing was born. The band consists of experienced touring veterans from Nashville who have trafficked in the world of Yacht Rock for many years. When not entertaining crowds in their newly acquired 70’s attire, you might find these smooth rockers sharing the stage with Kenny Loggins, Christopher Cross, Peter Cetera, Dave Jenkins from Pablo Cruise, David Foster, Jason Scheff (formerly of Chicago), and even American Idol winners Carrie Underwood and David Cook.
These guys come about their yachty-ness honestly and strive to bring you these classic soft-rock tunes with the utmost authenticity, excellence, and all the campy attitude you’ve come to expect from this brand of entertainment. “We’ve entertained crowds all over the world with this music playing with the original artists, so why not keep the party going?”, says Scott Sheriff, their keyboardist and band leader. “There’s definitely a market out there for this style of music and we love playing it.” Sheriff has been performing Steely Dan/Chicago tributes in Nashville since 2004 and has come to realize, “While this town is known mostly for country, there’s definitely a strong base of fans of classic West Coast AOR, or what’s become known as ‘Yacht Rock’”, thanks to bands like the Revue and Schooner. They are excited to join the fold of Please Rock options in this arena.
