Ahoy, music lovers! Set sail for the smoothest night of the summer at Tybee Post Theater. Thurston Howell is bringing their Premier Yacht Rock Spectacular to our shores, and trust me – you absolutely cannot fake SMOOTH! These talented musicians are ready to whisk you away on a nostalgic journey through the silky sounds of the 70s and 80s, with just a hint of modern flair. Expect soaring melodies, lush harmonies, and grooves so tight they’re practically waterproof. Rally your crew, head to the island, and climb aboard for a musical voyage you won’t forget. Your captain’s hat is optional, but highly encouraged!
