If You Like Pina Coladas, and singing along at The Pub, then you’re in for smooth Sailing courtesy of a soft-rock octet cruising to the Whitsunday shores in early August.
There’s set to be a Summer Breeze blowing in the Airlie Beach Hotel when the eight-member band Yacht Rock Revival pay tribute to the definition of ‘70s light rock, coinciding with the sailing sensation that is Airlie Beach Race Week.
Soulful, well-constructed groove, baby; if you’ve ever heard the Doobie Brothers fronted by Michael McDonald doing What A Fool Believes in, that’s Yacht Rock!
A collection of your favourite sounds, songs, and grooves from an era when ‘smooth’ meant everything. When artists like Fleetwood Mac, Hall and Oates, The Eagles, and America were kings and queens of the charts.
It’s like a sunset on the Santa Monica pier, walking hand-in-hand with your baby, matching gold-tone bracelets jingling as the ocean breeze caresses your moustache. The two of you stare out into the ever-deepening blue to think, in tandem: "Yeah, this is how it should always be".
When that foghorn blows, hold onto your captain’s hat because there’s an effortless cool flowing through your favourite local – we all love a bit of that sweetly unique ‘70s sound.
The Melbourne-based band recapture the time when music mellowed out and smooth sounds and Sunkissed melodies took over the airwaves – and they’re decked out in retro, nautical costumes to boot.
Band frontwoman Susan Marsden said they’ll be performing two afternoon shows at the Airlie Beach Hotel on August 13 and 14.
“We can’t wait to be in Airlie Beach – if there’s anywhere that sings yacht rock and smooth ‘70s tunes, it’s the Whitsundays,” she said.
“Be ready for songs that are slicker than slick and enormously well-played, from the melodically clever to the harmonically unexpected.”
By the end of their set, you’ll be singing: Ooh-ooh-hoo, no, Baby, please don't go
