Yacht Rock Return to Milford: The Yacht Lobsters Dock for a Night of Soft Rock Splendor & Smooth Sailing

Milford, CT — Get ready to sail away on a smooth sea of soft rock nostalgia and catch the Yacht Rock wave! On Friday, September 11 at 8:00 PM.  The Milford Veterans Memorial Auditorium located at 70 W Rivers Street will drop anchor for one unforgettable voyage as the Yacht Lobsters cruise into town. Doors open at 7:00p.m. Tickets are as low as $29.00. 


You can dock your vessel worry-free with free venue parking! Expect the greatest Yacht Rock hits of the ‘70s and ‘80’s: Steely Dan’s “Reelin’ in the Years”, Toto’s “Africa” and “Rosanna”, Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl”, and smooth grooves from Michael McDonald, The Doobie Brothers, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, and many more—all delivered with the  Yacht Lobsters’ signature tight horns, dynamic guitars, lush harmonies, and a tidal wave of fun. 


Whether you’re a captain, first mate, or just along for the ride, the Yacht Lobsters promise a show that will keep you afloat with good vibes, irresistible beats, and a splash of funk. So, polish your deck shoes, press those Hawaiian shirts, grab your captain's hat, and prepare to rock the boat (without tipping it over). 


Enjoy Beer, Wine & Seltzers and concessions, all night long with a fantastic silent auction table. 

Best of all, this is more than just smooth sailing—it’s a benefit concert supporting the Beth-El Center, an anchor in the Milford community dedicated to solving homelessness and hunger and helping neighbors find safe harbor.
