KNIGHTS OF THE NIGHT
Smooth grooves. Impeccable harmonies. Endless vibes. Knights of the Night are the DMV’s premier yacht rock experience, bringing the silky sounds of the late ’70s and early ’80s back to life with precision, passion, and polish.
Formed by a powerhouse lineup of 11 of the region’s most accomplished musicians, Knights of the Night faithfully recreate the golden era of soft rock — the age of smooth sailing and sunset soundtracks. Their performances are a celebration of the lush production, tight rhythm sections, and soaring vocals that defined artists like Michael McDonald, Toto, Christopher Cross, Steely Dan, Kenny Loggins, and The Doobie Brothers.
Every note, every harmony, every shimmering keyboard pad is delivered with studio-level accuracy and stage-shaking energy. From the velvety falsettos of “What a Fool Believes” to the soaring choruses of “Ride Like the Wind” and the intricate grooves of “Rosanna”, Knights of the Night transport audiences straight back to the yacht rock heyday — when the drinks were cold, the collars were wide, and the music was impossibly smooth.
Whether they’re performing in intimate clubs, grand concert halls, or seaside festivals, Knights of the Night deliver a night of nostalgia and musicianship that’s as cool and classy as the era they celebrate.
So grab your shades, pour something on the rocks, and get ready to set sail with Knights of the Night— the smoothest band on the water.
