Celebrate the breezy subgenre of West Coast soft rock – epitomized by David, Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Toto – in this HBO Music Box series.
The GRAMMY Museum
November 21: The GRAMMY Museum presented a special screening of Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary and a post-screening panel discussion moderated by Executive Producer, Bill Simmons with Director & Producer Garret Price, and Musicians David (far left), Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, David Paich, and Steve Porcaro about their creative process behind the film.
Note from David
“This is a deep dive into the art of how we created our songs and influenced each other back in the day – and how a couple of young guys in early 2005 created a joke that became a certified music genre!” At left: Mike McDonald, myself, and Steve Porcaro.
The New York Times
“Very grateful to NY Times for the inclusion in their Ultimate YR Playlist Dec 3 2024. FYI, I never looked at Handel’s practice book (ha!) but touring with the Doobies in 70’s/ 80’s, along with Fleetwood Mac, Toto, etc. inspired all of us to push boundaries – my earlier hit (1978) “How Much I Feel” even had a bridge in 7/4 !”
