Performance at The Passage - Yacht Rock with "Ship Happens"
Details
Time to mellow out with some smooth, soft rock songs! Mid-summer brings out yacht rock with “Ship Happens”, a group dedicated to performing the very best of ‘70s and ‘80s soft rock hits. “Yacht Rock” is shorthand for that era’s Southern California soft-spun pop/rock and its derivatives. Just imagine yourself on a dinner cruise during a warm summer evening plying the waters of Puget Sound, glass of wine in hand, with sounds like this playing in the background . . .

Ship Happens dons a nautical theme with a full complement of instruments – guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, horns, and incredible vocal harmonies. With such a huge two-decade catalog to choose from, the group’s playlists are never the same! They can deliver dreamy ballads, or cut loose with high-energy party rockers. This six-piece ensemble really mixes it up, so you never know exactly what the live set will be:

Expect to hear tributes to a wide range of artists such as Steely Dan, Hall & Oats, Michael McDonald, Toto, Air Supply, Bread, Fleetwood Mac, Doobie Brothers, Boz Scaggs, Bryan Adams, and many more. Of course there will be some romantic ballads in the mix, so some slow dancing will be on deck . . . let’s “sail away” when Ship Happens!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(copied from previous event):
A limited number of free tickets may be available to Clearwater Players Club members (free membership), and $15 for non-members. Recommend you get yours EARLY to guarantee a spot (these shows may sell out well before July.) If you’re not close to the casino, let me know in the Comments section or private PM which show(s) you definitely plan to attend and I can pick up tickets for you. If free tickets are gone, then just pay for them via Venmo or Zelle.
NOTE: Clearwater offers concert/hotel packages starting at $189 that include two free tickets and one night's lodging for those who party a little too hard before, during, or after the show… ;-) Grab a friend and split the cost.
Free parking garage, but Hwy 305 traffic jams begin after 6 pm. When entering Clearwater from 305, make an immediate right and go down the hill to enter the garage. Go to the 4th level or higher for free parking. Bring a lawn chair, light jacket, dancing shoes, AND a small blanket as sometimes the passage can get chilly at dusk.
If the website indicates this show is sold out but you still want to attend, go ahead and submit your RSVP, since extra tickets may become available through cancellations or "inside sources."
All concerts are Thursday nights 7 to 8:30 pm; I will arrive early to claim a prime spot for our group a few rows back from the stage and in the center section for the best sound quality. However, people arrive early by 6 pm for prime seating, drinks, and optional dinner plate before showtime. To find our group, look for the helium balloons tied to our chairs. Life is short, people . . . let’s party down and have some outdoor FUN this summer!
