Yachtley Crew set to perform at Quarry Park Amphitheater

Ahoy! Get ready for a smooth musical ride because Yachtley Crew is hitting the road for its "Seas The Night" 2026 tour and will dock at Rocklin's Quarry Park Amphitheater on Sept. 5. The band is celebrating the release of its new 11-track album, "Seas the Night," which delivers an endless stream of cool, classic yacht rock tunes from start to finish. The seven-piece Southern California band, known as the "Titans of Soft Rock," will open its high-energy yacht rock show at the outdoor venue at 4000 Rocklin Road at 7 p.m. Doors are scheduled to open at 6. "What inspired our album 'Seas the Night' was we really wanted to continue recreating some classic rock songs in our style, staying faithful to the original songs but also putting a modern rock spin on it," Tommy Buoy (guitar) said in an interview with Gold Mountain News Media. "The song has the same chords and melodies but the drums are hitting harder and the guitars are rocking a little bit more." Yachtley Crew has built a following by putting its own energetic spin on the polished sounds that defined the late 1970s and early '80s. The band performs songs associated with artists like Boz Scaggs, Christopher Cross, the Bee Gees and Robbie Dupree; combining nostalgia with a lively concert experience designed to get audiences singing and dancing. The band's stage presentation is part of the experience. Members perform in nautical-themed outfits and captain's hats, embracing the carefree atmosphere associated with yacht rock while turning familiar songs into an upbeat live show. "We like to say that we are a show and not just a cover band or tribute band. We're playing a certain genre in a certain time but we're putting on a show that's different and modern while echoing the past," Buoy said. "We've always liked to say that we're the Kiss of soft rock, which is to say that we're entertainers and we know people are coming to see a show and that's what separates us from most of the bands that are trying to do yacht rock." Beyond performing classic hits, Yachtley Crew has also developed original music. "Seas The Night" includes an original song written by renowned songwriter Diane Warren, demonstrating the group's efforts to expand beyond revisiting the music of an earlier era. Yachtley Crew's rise has taken the band from regional performances to a national audience. The group has appeared on HBO, SiriusXM's Yacht Rock Radio and Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," while its performances have attracted attention from major figures in the music world. The band was also signed to Jimmy Buffett's Mailboat label before later moving to Earache/Universal Records. The Rocklin performance is part of the city's 2026 Quarry Park concert season, which features a variety of artists throughout September and into October. Set beneath the stars at Rocklin's outdoor amphitheater, the concert offers fans an opportunity to experience the yacht rock revival in an intimate outdoor setting. "This is our third time playing Quarry Park and it's always been great every time. That's why we love going back there, and it's always a packed house and a lot of fun," Buoy said. "We're going to be dressed in captain's outfits, with lights, sounds and an exciting stage presence. We're really excited to get back up there." Tickets are available through Quarry Park Concerts (quarryparkconcerts.com), with additional ticket sales available through the Rocklin Parks and Recreation Office during weekday business hours. Concertgoers should also plan for parking. The city offers advance parking passes, with the parking lot scheduled to open at 5 p.m. on concert night. "Go to YachtleyCrew.com (or) follow us on social media so you can see what we are all about. Come out and give us a chance if you've never been before you won't be disappointed," Buoy said. "You're going to see something you've never seen before and you'll leave with a smile on your face for sure."
