Metra Lot Concert: Smooth Sailing — a night of Yacht Rock music
Come on out to the village of Barrington Commuter Parking Lot at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 16, for an evening with Smooth Sailing — a night of Yacht Rock music. Bring your takeout or picnic and have a tailgate party at this drive-in concert in the Barrington Metra Lot.
National award-winning cover band Maggie Speaks is proud to present Smooth Sailing, an evening of Yacht Rock music. The smooth sailing sounds of Yacht Rock dominated the airwaves in the late 70s and early 80s. It was the era of studio musicians creating symphonic masterpieces with layers of harmony, melodic guitars and playful percussion.
The band Smooth Sailing recreates this era like no other, transporting you back to a period so mellow and smooth as a baby’s bottom. You will hear all of your favorite classics from artists like Toto, Hall & Oates, Kenny Loggins, the Doobie Brothers, Christopher Cross and more. Full of guilty pleasures, this show is perfect for a generation of soft rock lovers. So hop on board as we ride the smooth waters of 70s and 80s Yacht Rock.
Car tickets (up to six people per car) are $35 and walk-in tickets are $5. Tickets can be purchased at barrington-il.gov/metralotconcerts.
