The readers of STYLE Weekly sure have been good to our five-years-and-counting experiment in yacht rock. This marks the fourth year in a row for our writing a grateful blog post / thank-you note to everyone who took time to write our name in as BEST COVER BAND! We'll let you in on a little secret here: we never thought we'd get here even once, much less four years in a row! Having said that, we happily share this honor with all the kickass voters who--like us--have a slightly unexplainable love for '70s soft rock. We are all in this thing together, and we thank you from the bottoms of our (empty) cocktail glasses!
The five of us who make up the core of the band--messrs. Marnier, Pockett, Ego, Dandy, and Power--want to shine the light on our front-of-house sound engineer, AC Fader, and our CEO of merchandise, Amy Gold. Their underrated offstage efforts play a critical role in our continual striving to create a showgoer experience that is second-to-none. We'd also like to recognize the killer musicians with whom we have shared the stage this past year. We are proud to raise our (now refilled) glasses with The Rounding Cape Horns, JC "Mr. Casual" Kuhl, Bobby Bravado, Swabby Steve, Admiral Hal F. Power, Guy Centennial, and Tico Rubs! Cheers, y'all! This next round's on us!

BEST RICHMOND COVER BAND
Three Sheets to the Wind
yachtrock.biz
SECOND PLACE: Honkytonk Heroes
THIRD PLACE: Rosie Soul and the Rock and Roll Cowboys
They may not have coined the term "yacht rock" which refers to the easy listening hits of the '70s and '80s -- but the leisure- and lady-loving characters in Three Sheets to the Wind are one of the country's best living yacht rock groups. From their swanky sailor's outfits to their oh-so-smooth vocal delivery, Three Sheets stokes the fires with such artists as Loggins and Messina, Hall and Oates and Steely Dan, making the women swoon and the men drink heavily."
