THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
8:30pm
Unfamiliar with "yacht rock"? If you listened to the radio in the '70s and '80s, or classic pop in the '90s and 2000s, you already know most of these songs by heart. If not, prepare to be swept away by the irresistibly catchy, well-crafted tunes that were the party soundtrack of the era.
Or as Three Sheets to the Wind puts it:
Yacht Rock - noun \`yät `räk\
1. AM Gold classics from the ‘70s & '80s, undoubtedly the
smoothest music ever created by mankind.
2. Music played by the most interesting band in the world...
