2024 Inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Only American band in Band Aid, Grammy award winning band that is still touring after 60 years in the biz! Celebrate good times, come on!
The Yacht Club first set sail in January 2020. Since it first left dock, it has grown a significant community of fans across the nation. It has become appointment listening from start to finish for Captain Marx’s loyal Yachty’s.
If you exit the yacht saying things like “Wow, that took me back” or “I haven’t heard that in decades” or perhaps “I’m so glad the Captain played that, I love that song”. Well, mission accomplished!
Tune in to The Yacht Club weekly and be prepared to never want the sail to end!
