Yacht Rock & more.. Do not hesitate!

Peter Cavicchia 

C.T.O. Fiserv - Jupiter FL 

"Let me be really clear…. If you love yacht rock music, and many other popular tunes. - John Parker and Rock the Yacht are for you. We hired the whole crew in Jupiter Florida.  Not only do they completely nail every yacht rock genre song from Ambrosia to Steely Dan - but they turned it up to get the party dancing with current & classic dance tunes too! Aside from John, who is a great vocalist, Sara provided wonderful vocals on so many tunes including Whitney Houston and Lady Gaga. If we could have had them stay for another 4 hours we would have.   Do not hesitate to contact these guys for any event"

they totally made our night perfect!

Ashlan  Stanton

Bride - Sunset Pier  FL

"We loved John Parker.  I looked everywhere for a band to do Yacht Rock and I am so glad I found him!!  They totally made our night perfect. I got the yacht rock music I love and everyone had a great time. They were professional, fun and respectful. John emailed me along the way helping me anywhere I needed it, from ceremony music, helping with ideas and just being a friendly person to assist in making the most special day possible.  We had them play for a small wedding on Ocean Key Sunset Pier, 15 people and they played for us like we were a party of 100. I appreciated that.  The best part was the next day around town we heard how much others liked them! We overheard at the pool how a couple at the hotel sat out on their balcony to listen to the band.  The next night at a bar in town we heard a group saying how great the band was at the pier the night before as they were eating dinner, they stayed to listen. I was SO excited to hear that others could enjoy them too.  Thank you John Parker - You rock! 😀"

Yacht rock &  everything  else too at our wedding!

Brad & Corie 

wedding on 

Palm Beach FL

My wife & I love "Yacht Rock" music.. So when we found the band were blown away & thought we need to get this guy for our wedding in Palm Beach.. So we did! The extra cool part was that he started out at our reception playing the Yacht Rock music that we wanted, & everybody loved it.. but when the dancing got going, our guests then started asking for other dance music, that was all over the place.. stuff from Bruno Mars, to Bon Jovi, to Lizzo.. & JP then played ALL of THAT too – perfectly - NO problem! Every last person at our wedding danced & were completely blown away.  My wife & I were SO happy! The vocals & talent of this guy is off the charts. And he's that nice of a guy too. JP you truly "ROCK the Yacht" & way more... Thank you SO much! Brad & Corrie

Way more than just any band

D i a n e  F r a n k

A b b v i e

"All bands play music & most try to sing - few do it well & almost none do it as well as John Parker.  Having enlisted him to perform several times, the band's musicianship & ability to entertain is unsurpassed.  John's vocals are world class & he has a personality & way with people that's very cool. And most bands we heard attempt these great singers like Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Daryl Hall, etc I was not impressed with the singing - Until I met John. WOW. He's the real deal. Highly Recommended!"

Great music & easy to work with

B r a m  J o h n s o n 

"I have known John Parker for years - his music is always first rate, & all of the events that we have used him for are always the best. Always responsive to the needs of the event & always REALLY good.  I can count on John to make our events a success.  Plus, John & his team are easy to work with. No flaky agents or middlemen & John does business right."

My guests LOVED them

A n d r e a.  J o r d a n

J.  D.  R.  F.  

My guests genuinely love the music of this genre & were really impressed by John & the band. My guests LOVED them.  The bands we looked at that specialized in yacht rock mostly were like parodies & almost mocking the vocalists. Whereas John & Rock The Yacht were serious about the genre & truly GOOD at it. Really Impressive! John played some requests we had outside of the genre also - and literally all of our guests told us this was the best band they had heard. We definitely recommend Rock the Yacht band to anyone who appreciates great singing & music. (and great customer service too!)    

This band never  disappoints

We heard many positive comments from people who were very impressed with you, the band, & the quality of the music. Thanks to you everything ran so smoothly, and we do appreciate that. Our committee has been unanimous in asking for John back again & again for our events & Rock The Yacht band & John Parker never disappoints.  Our parties are always non stop fun & that is thanks solely to John. Our utmost appreciation.

Indie rock icons sue Trump for using ‘Army’ song before N.J. concert. ‘This machine sues fascists.’

  • Updated: Sep. 10, 2024, 1:40 a.m.
  • | Published: Sep. 09, 2024, 11:22 p.m.

  • Amy Kuperinsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

It started last month when Donald Trump ’s campaign used the White Stripes song “ Seven Nation Army ” without permission.

And on Monday, it continued with Jack White posting a screenshot on Instagram showing he was suing Trump.

The White Stripes have become just the latest band to sue Trump for using their music.

An image White posted shows that he and his former White Stripes bandmate, drummer Meg White , are suing Trump and Margo Martin, Trump’s deputy director of communications, in the Southern District of New York.

“This machine sues fascists,” Jack White said, sharing evidence of the lawsuit.

Martin used the Grammy-winning 2003 White Stripes song “ Seven Nation Army ” in a video posted to social media.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jack White (@officialjackwhite)

“Don’t even think about using my music you fascists,” White said in a previous Instagram post responding to that video. “Have a great day at work today Margo Martin. And as long as I’m here, a double f--- you DonOLD for insulting our nation’s veterans at Arlington you scum. You should lose every military family’s vote immediately from that if ANYTHING makes sense anymore.”

While the Whites (who were formerly married) are reacting to the Trump campaign using the song in August, this isn’t the first time Trump used the same White Stripes song.

“Seven Nation Army” also played during events for his 2016 campaign.

Jack White’s post about the lawsuit came just hours before he performed at White Eagle Hall in Jersey City (see video below) Monday night. (The White Stripes split in 2011 and Jack White released his sixth solo album, “ No Name ,” in July.)

Jack White and Meg White are not the only ones who have fought Trump’s use of their music.

Post contains profanity

The family of Isaac Hayes (he died in 2008) filed a lawsuit against Trump for using the Sam & Dave song “ Hold On, I’m Comin’, ” which Hayes co-wrote, at rallies. A judge ordered Trump to cease doing so.

In August, Celine Dion also objected to the confounding use of her hit song “ My Heart Will Go On ” — from the “Titanic” soundtrack — at Trump and JD Vance rallies (” THAT song? ” read a statement from her management team).

The Foo Fighters spoke out against the band’s 1997 song “ My Hero ” being played at a Trump rally in August when Trump introduced Robert F. Kennedy .

Sailing with Yächtley Crëw

Sailing with Yächtley Crëw

Los Angeles area-based yacht rock band Yächtley Crëw have set sail on their 2022 Anchors Up Tour and will perform May 2, Sony Hall, New York City; May 5, URSB Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center, Carteret, and May 6, Tropicana Showroom, Atlantic City. Known as “The Titans of Soft Rock,” Yachtley Crew encapsulate the feel-good, chart-topping soft rock hits of the late ’70s and early ’80s. Gushy love songs, whaling saxophone solos and memorable hooks will have you unabashedly singing along and donning a captain’s hat of your own as you’re taken on a trip down memory lane.

Yächtley Crëw perform timeless hits by Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs, Christopher Cross, Toto, Bee Gees, Hall & Oates, Styx and more! As evidenced during a residency at L.A.’s legendary Viper Room, the summer breezy band bring fun and showmanship to their performances while entertaining younger and older audience members alike. Whether you’re hearing these songs for the first time or remember singing along with them on your AM radio, you will love the look of their thematic nautical suits and highly entertaining choreography. 

Yet, fear not, ye fans of hard rock. The band’s name was inspired by none other than the infamous L.A. outfit Motley Crue.  Please enjoy the following chat with vocalist Philly Ocean and drummer Sailor Hawkins. 

What is it about Yacht Rock that is so appealing to the band members and their audience?

It’s impossible not to sing along and feel good when you hear this music. There’s so much nostalgia linked to these songs, and so many memories. They’re iconic, and known throughout the world. And they are really good songs! One of the best parts about what we do is seeing two hours of smiles on our audience.

Promote your shows at NJ Stage! Click here for info

Did you enjoy this kind of music as a kid or did you gravitate to it when you got older?  

Both. Every single band member has childhood memories of these songs, cruising in the car with the windows down on a hot summer night. But the really cool thing has been to rediscover this music all over again as adults, and to endeavor to play it like the original recording. Again, this music is feel good and timeless. It makes it easy to fall in love with this music all over again. 

For those who haven’t experienced it yet, what is the best part of a Yachtley Crew concert?  

It’s not just a concert, it’s a show. As much as we love Yacht Rock, we love performing just as much. We bring that love to every single gig that we play, and we have a blast doing it. We think that the best part about a Yachtley Crew concert is that everyone is a part of it. People show up wearing captain’s hats and sailor outfits. They come ready to dance and sing and party, and they leave having had one of the most fun nights of their life. 

Out of all the songs within your repertoire, which do you like to perform most and why?

Advertise with New Jersey Stage for $50-$100 per month, click here for info

We are gonna have to go with ‘Escape (The Pina Colada Song)’ on this one. Every single time we play this song, the crowd loses their minds and sings along. It’s the best. 

Have you gotten any feedback from any of the acts you cover?

We actually have! Peter Beckett -- the voice of Player -- has joined us onstage a few times to perform his classic, ‘Baby Come Back.’ Also, Elliot Lurie -- voice of Looking Glass -- has sat in with us too to sing his hit song, ‘Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl).’

How did Yachtley Crew band together and get its name? 

Like many great things, Yachtley Crew was born in a hot tub over a cold beer. Our founders, Baba Buoy (bass) and Sailor Hawkins (drums) have been lifelong friends and musicians, and carefully assembled the band over a year of jam sessions to ensure just the right chemistry. Now we are one big happy Yacht Rock family who love the genre just as much as our fans. The name Yachtley Crew is a nod to our love of hard rock, Motley Crue, and we like to think that we add just a little bit of “oomph” to the soft rock hits we play.

The band recently renamed the drummer Sailor Hawkins in honor of the recently deceased Taylor Hawkins, and also in honor of him, you’re covering Foo Fighters’ ‘Hero,’ which also isn’t yacht rock. Why is it important to Yachtley Crew to honor Taylor in this way? 

Actually, Sailor Hawkins has always been his name. The Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins has always been a hero to us, and we felt it appropriate to honor him after his untimely passing. 

What’s the most nautical experience the band has had? 

Our most nautical experience ever is probably getting ferried out to Catalina Island to play at their Buccaneer Days event. Such a blast! Everyone dressed as captains and pirates marooned on an island for a weekend.
