Yacht Rock Revue:

The Atlanta-based band is called the ‘Greatest Show on Surf’ and known as the finest tribute to ‘70s light rock to ever perform. Their spot-on renditions of Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Steely Dan, and the rest of the Time-Life Infomercial Catalog have enthralled fans across the United States. By blurring the lines between a tribute, an original act, and a comedic troupe, the Yacht Rock Revue has forged a unique niche market and a special bond with their fans, especially those in Chattanooga.

Jason D. Williams:

A wild man onstage, Williams credits influences like Jerry Lee Lewis, Moon Mullican, Memphis Slim and Al Jolson, for helping to develop his vast repertoire and seemingly endless energy.
Williams says, “I’ve always welcomed the comparisons; my influences were some of the greatest entertainers ever to be seen.”
