| Seas and Greetings places something under the listening tree for everyone this Christmas and comprises of five handpicked songs — four covers, and one original, which Yächtley Crëw collectively feel best represent the good tidings of comfort and joy their music has consistently brought to Yacht Rock fans across the globe (snow-covered, or otherwise). Or, as Yächtley Crëw put it themselves, “When we set out to record our Christmas EP Seas and Greetings, we wanted to capture the excitement and joy that the holidays bring to us. The album is a culmination of all of that, and we are excited to share it during one of our most favourite seasons.” Produced and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge (Stevie Nicks, Steven Tyler, Keith Urban, Bruce Springsteen, Green Day) and mastered by Ted Jensen (Eagles, Norah Jones, Evanescence, Alice In Chains, James Taylor) at Sterling Sound New England, Seas and Greetings shares the best of what Yächtley Crëw have to offer, a not-so-silent night in, and not-so-silent night out. The new EP is available in several formats including CD digipak and two holiday-themed colour vinyl edition options — white and green – as well streaming across all major digital platforms. The cover is also a nod to SoCal legends The Beach Boys and their 1964 Christmas album. You can order Seas and Greetings here. Having taken the US by stormy seas, Yächtley Crëw are in their third year of residency at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and will have played over 100 shows this year selling over 150,000 tickets in total. They released their first EP Seas the Day in 2023 and are currently on their Full Steam Ahead US tour through the remainder of 2024 and collectively they felt like there could be no better time to celebrate the true meaning of the holidays than in the here and now. “To us, the holidays are a reminder of the importance of generosity, togetherness, and joy,” the band points out. “It’s a time to set aside our differences and be reminded of our shared humanity — and, of course, to be with our family and friends.” From the eggnog-chugging and mistletoe-kissing wake-up call of the EP’s opening track and lead single ‘It’s Christmas Time’ to the clear-eyed navigational promise of the band’s original track ‘Home for Christmas’, from the fond jingle-bell wishes of ‘Happy Christmas (War Is Over)’ to the hopeful, plaintive pleadings of ‘Please Come Home for Christmas’, and then closing with the universally shared feeling of ‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’, Yächtley Crëw have fully captured the essence of the season with Seas and Greetings. Furthermore, given all the cool waves and hot grooves that permeate Seas and Greetings, the nautical-suited and captain’s-hat-clad Yächtley Crëw — a.k.a. ‘The Titans of Soft Rock’, consisting of lead vocalist Phillip Daniel (Philly Ocean), drummer Rob Jones (Sailor Hawkins), bassist Chaz Ruiz (Baba Buoy), guitarist Thomas Gardner Jr. (Tommy Buoy), backing vocalist Curt Clendenin (Stoney Shores), saxophone/flutist Paul Pate (Pauly Shores), and keyboardist Matt Grossman (Matthew McDonald) — readily admit that they “all celebrate the holidays together, as we are one big family — and we have a lot of fun, too!” Truly, Yächtley Crëw have set out to touch the hearts of one and all with Seas and Greetings, so feel free to join in with a hale and hearty “Yo Ho Ho Ho!” and enjoy this EP’s five great holiday songs with friends and family alike.
