Sunday Funday Yacht Rock Party w/ Yachtzee
The Lighthouse Cafe11th Street, Los Angeles 90254
Yachtzee leads the Lighthouse Cafe’s Sunday Funday Yacht Rock Party, a live afternoon set built around yacht-rock favorites from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The bill promises a three-hour “rock filled yacht musical journey,” including the smoother staples of the era alongside selections that lean harder into rock. It is a 21-plus daytime event at the Hermosa Beach room, with Yachtzee as the sole named act.
No background information about Yachtzee is provided beyond this event listing. The available details identify the act as the live band for an afternoon yacht-rock program, but do not name its members, say where the group comes from, document other appearances, or include press coverage. What is clear is the focus of the set: familiar late-70s and early-80s material presented as a concert-level yacht-rock experience, with room for the songs that “rock” as well as the expected soft-rock favorites.
The Lighthouse Cafe is a storied live music venue with a full bar and restaurant, known for its deep roots in West Coast jazz history. The room feels like a classic beachside bar with a central stage and patio seating that fills quickly, so arriving early or reserving a table is wise. The menu offers comfort food favorites alongside cocktails, complementing the diverse lineup that ranges from jazz and funk to tribute bands and reggae. Shows often have modest cover charges or are free, creating a welcoming space where the music takes priority but socializing and enjoying drinks are part of the evening. The venue’s walls echo decades of legendary performances, making it a vibrant spot to soak in both music and the laid-back Hermosa Beach vibe.
