Nespo Johnny began exploring musical life after Y O U with some new tunes (and some Y O U classics.)   Clay took a moment off from his busy touring schedule with the Zac Brown Band to make a rare solo appearance.

Eddie’s is not only the finest acoustic music venue in the world… it’s also a fabulous place to make a live recording.  Download the entire show for free in a tightly zipped package.

In the PleaseRock Halloween tradition, it was costumed pandemonium!

We apologize for the rude e-mails from the promoter, the over-crowdedness, and the fire marshal.  We hope these things were minimally distracting in your attempt to tuck your costume into someone else’s costume.  As a make-up for our fans, we’ll perform Thriller once again in its entirety this Thursday night (November 5) at the 10 High for the FIRST SET – arrive early to get your MJ on.

As we prepare to make a big announcement about a Yacht Rock Revue holiday show, we’ve got a few other things to talk about:

- Paste Magazine featured Y O U on their radio show of “Southern Bands that Should Have Been Bigger.”  They actually said we inspired the theme for the show.  Listen.

- Pictures and a review of the last Y O U show on Atlanta Music Guide. We’re blushing.

- Nespo Johnny (Nick from Y O U solo) opens for Clay Cook of the Zac Brown Band at Eddie’s Attic on Sunday night, November 8.  Doors at 6:30 pm, Nick at 7:30 pm.  Clay, a former member of Y O U, is releasing a new CD.  Tickets.

- Be friends with Yacht Rock on Facebook - It’s where we keep everyone hyper-up-to-date on the Yachtosphere.

LISTEN: Going Down Swinging live at the Earl in Atlanta, 3.11.09.

WATCH: Break (2006)

We recorded this song live in Clay’s studio one hour before Director Tyler James showed up to shoot the video.  The shoot itself was quick – a few passes of the song in front of a green screen.  But then Tyler printed out 10 frames per second, cut us out of the print-outs, and stop-motion animated the papers.

PS – Our new picture up there is by Patrick Williams.  Here’s a link to his blog where he posted some pix from our recent photo shoot.
