Or when Hall and Oates begged you to look into their private eyes? The members of NAUTI-NAUTI do! Boasting a four-decade résumé of local bands that include Robin Banks, Men of Our Times, Mr. Big Stuff, Can’t Touch This, Love & Thunder, Little Vito and the Torpedoes, sometimes i…, the Edge, Fresh Hot Fritters, the Mayvilles, Prime Time, Soul 2 Soul, ThunderHeart, the CarTunes, Lickity Split and so many more, NAUTI-NAUTI is putting the “Yacht Rock” in “Rock”ford. We have set sail for the cool, crystal-blue ocean waters of the 1970s and the pre-MTV 1980s, breathing new life into some of the sweetest rock and pop tunes of the period – slickly produced, harmony-laden and instantly recognizable “earworms” that will transport any audience back to happier times of endless summers, 8-track players and transistor radios. Our song list includes “Lido Shuffle,” “Baker Street,” “Lonesome Loser,” “Thunder Island,” “Brandy,” “Dancing in the Moonlight,” “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” “Devil Woman,” “Lotta Love,” “Smoke from A Distant Fire,” […]
