Yachtley Crew

American yacht rock band, Yächtley Crëw, burst onto the club scene in 2017, selling out countless local venues and starting a nationwide Yacht Rock craze. They caught the eye of the legendary Jimmy Buffett who signed Yächtley Crëw to his own Mailboat Records label in 2022.

The nautical-suited and captain’s-hat-clad Yächtley Crëw (otherwise known as “The Titans of Soft Rock) have grown exponentially over the past years. They’ve toured cities throughout the U.S. and Europe and have recently embarked on their 2024 Full Steam Ahead Tour.

The group released their first EP Seas the Day on Mailboat Records in 2023, which was produced and mixed by Grammy award winning Chris Lord-Alge (Stevie Nicks, Steven Tyler, Keith Urban, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day)

The band comprises lead vocalist Phillip Daniel (Philly Ocean), drummer Rob Jones (Sailor Hawkins), bassist Chaz Ruiz (Baba Buoy), guitarist Thomas Gardner Jr. (Tommy Buoy), backing vocalist Curt Clendenin (Stoney Shores), saxophone/flutist Paul Pate (Pauly Shores) and keyboardist Matt Grossman (Matthew McDonald).

For those uninitiated, Yacht Rock encapsulates the revival of soft rock and Top 40 hits from the late ‘70s to the early ‘80s.
