New Yacht City – Yacht Rock Tribute

Get ready to drop anchor and drift away on a wave of nostalgia. We are thrilled to announce that premier tribute act, New Yacht City, will headline a spectacular night of sun-kissed, sophisticated soft rock in Woodstock, NY.

The highly anticipated concert will take place on Sunday, Jan 11, 2026, at the famous Colony venue in Woodstock. New Yacht City is renowned for faithfully recreating the smooth, high-energy sounds of 70s and 80s Yacht Rock, covering classics from artists like Steely Dan, Toto, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, and Christopher Cross. Known for their meticulous musical arrangements and polished stage presence, the band promises an evening of undeniable groove that captures the spirit of the genre.

“Woodstock has always understood great music with its rich history, and there’s no better place than Colony to enjoy the sound of our smooth grooves,” said Manish Nag, bandleader for New Yacht City. “We’re bringing the entire band and a horn section to ensure this is the ultimate throwback party for everyone in the Upstate region. Our singer, guitarist, and trumpeter all have roots in Upstate New York, so we are really excited about this show.” The Woodstock concert marks a major highlight on the band’s fall tour, offering local fans a chance to experience the sound that defined a generation—from the infectious basslines of “Ride Like the Wind” to the complex harmonies of “Africa.”
