Tour Diary: Yacht Rock Revue’s Nicholas Niespodziani Takes Us Through Their Latest tour

The sun is shining; the heat is blistering, so it must mean that it’s the season of Yacht Rock Revue. The ten-piece ensemble is in its element in the midst of a lengthy summer tour called the “Summer Road Trip Tour.” The tour began last month on July 8th and features 44 cities, with support from REO Speedwagon and Train. The premiere summer band, few acts can bring the breezy vibes quite like Yacht Rock Revue can. If you can’t make it out to a show, you can still experience the band’s feel-good grooves with their PBS concert special they recently filmed at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City.

The band arrived in style at the beginning of the summer with two new tracks. At the end of May, they released “Tropical Illusion” and “Passengers.” The former features an appearance from Elliot Lurie of the legendary band Looking Glass. Led by Nicholas Niespodziani, both singer and co-manager of the band, Yacht Rock Revue first emerged in 2007. Since then, they have developed into one of America’s premiere live summer acts. Fun and dancing are two certainties when you attend one of their shows. The summer tour is all a leadup to the release of Yacht Rock Revue’s latest release, a double album named Escape Artist, scheduled for release on November 29th.

With the tour still going strong, we are joined by Niespodziani for an exclusive tour diary that takes you behind the scenes of the band’s travels, featuring all the behind-the-scenes information you won’t get anywhere else.
