About Monsters of Yacht

Monsters of Yacht is a premier tribute to the Yacht Rock Genre. This fast-growing band has firmly planted its flag in the look and sound of smooth music from the 1970s to the early 1980s. Monsters of Yacht  delivers rocking recreations of songs from artists like Christopher Cross, Doobie Brothers, TOTO, Robbie Dupree, Player, Hall & Oates, Steely Dan, Gerry Rafferty, Boz Scaggs, Bee Gees and many more. The band also adds additional songs from artists that are not technically “yacht”, yet positively add to the event and experience!

About The Deltaz

Heavy blues, roots rock, classic country and the blood harmony of two brothers will pour out of your stereo.

Ben Calhoun is the frontman of CITIZEN WAY and a solo artist. He is also a children’s book ​author, the founder of General Records, an independent record company, and ​Generosity Rocks, a non-profit fundraising platform for musicians.
