About this Event

Class Schedule: Thursdays – April 24 & May 1 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM

All aboard! By 1980, Yacht Rock artists ruled the charts with their mixture of jazz, R&B, and smooth production. Which artists picked up the torch from the 1970s artists, and how did sounds change? What led to the decline in popularity of the genre? How did Yacht Rock make a comeback that led to the 2024 HBO documentary, a Sirius XM channel, and much more? Plus, the class will endeavor to create the ultimate Yacht Rock playlist and answer the question: what qualifies as Yacht Rock? Explore the history of the genre through multimedia presentations and class discussion.

Zoom Link will be provided upon registration.
