Captain G climbs aboard to take the class to school on the history of disco, including its relation and adjacency to yacht rock. On loan from Yacht Rock Miami, DJ Alex brings us back to the 70s and the origin of disco, including the differences between New York, west-coast, and Miami disco. Were there any crossovers between disco and what we know today as yacht rock? Let’s go to school to find out!

It’s the crossover episode we’ve all been waiting for!

No, not The Simpsons meets Family Guy. Not Fonzie appearing on Laverne & Shirley. Not Chicago first responders crossing the streams on shows that nobody watches anyway…

It’s Out of the Main meets Shelter at Sea, featuring the Hot Shyachts from Milwaukee Yacht Rock themselves, John O'Grady and Prescott Sobol!

This week, our show teams up with theirs to take a deep dive 🛎️ into the history of Christian Contemporary Music, including CCM’s origin and crossovers relative to yacht rock.

Once our episode drops, we pass the baton to the John and Prescott, who pick up where we leave off Saturday night on Yacht Rock Miami. Tune in for both shows to learn more, listen more, and love more.

We’re dipping our peanut butter into their chocolate!!!!

Tom and John steer the helm across the pond to discover the connections and correlatives (yes, that’s a word) between the yacht-rocky west coast sound with the emergence of “sophistipop” shortly after the yacht rock heyday. What were the tie-ins. Are there comparisons to be made? Were there influences, or just coincidences. And, of course, what is there to discuss regarding personnel? More than you might think...

Is there such thing as “Sophisti-Yacht?” You be the judge.
