Made up of veteran musicians from the Kansas City and Springfield music scenes, The Yachties recreate the smooth sounds of yacht rock with spot-on musicianship, rich harmonies, and plenty of energy. Their set features everything from laid-back soft rock favorites to disco hits that keep the crowd on its feet, making them the perfect band to kick off a weekend of live music.

“Yacht rock is having a big comeback right now, and The Yachties are one of the most entertaining bands around,” Festival Coordinator Jenna Friday said. “They put on such a fun show, and we know our Flashback Friday crowd is going to love singing along to all of those classic hits.”

The Yachties will perform a free show at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 16, on the Southwest Auto Collection Stage.
