Every Day Feels a Little More Like Summer.
Yacht rock is what happens when the best session musicians in Los Angeles, a few great songwriters and a lot of patience end up in the same studio. Silky vocals, jazzy chords and grooves that never rush.
We play it because it makes any day better: out on the water, stuck in traffic, at your desk, or just dreaming about the coast.
- Yacht rock and soft rock classics, all day and all night
- Smooth West Coast harmonies and blue-eyed soul
- Deep cuts you forgot you loved
- Daily themed radio shows
