Portsmouth NH Music Hall - Yachtley Crew: Seas the Night World Tour

Community Action Partnership of Strafford County is excited to present Yachtley Crew as a one-of-a-kind fundraising event to support our Homelessness Prevention and Housing Programs. All proceeds from this event will be used to further our work in the community. 

Yachtley Crew are a seven-piece SoCal band who burst onto the club scene in 2017, selling out countless local venues before starting a nationwide Yacht Rock craze and being noticed by the legendary Jimmy Buffett, who signed them to his own Mailboat label prior to their new deal with Earache/Universal Records.

The Weepies co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Deb Talan has had quite a life.  

Having started a band in Portland, OR with her friend Mark named Hummingfish, Deb wrote a lot of fun songs that people danced to ‘til they were all sweaty in that hipster/grungy/geeky Northwest kind of way. She then began playing solo in Boston coffee houses and opened shows for Catie Curtis (a songwriter hero of hers), before meeting up with Steve Tannen and forming The Weepies. Together, they played shows all over the country and the world, toured in a real tour bus, and made 5 records together, with many songs placed in loads of movies and tv shows.

 Over 25 years, Vassar has racked up chart-topping hits and numerous accolades, including performances in Europe, Australia, and the White House, as well as memorable moments with country legends like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. But it’s the connection he builds with fans through live performances that remains the heart of his career. “When I go on stage, the world fades away, and it’s just about having fun and connecting with the fans,” he shares.

A life-altering heart attack in 2023 that nearly claimed his life reshaped Vassar’s outlook. “You can’t outrun your genetics, but you can take care of yourself,” he reflects. His recovery has prompted a shift toward a calmer, more grateful life. “I’m way calmer now than I used to be. I’ve learned to enjoy the moment,” he says, now embracing life with renewed perspective.

 
With a career built on resilience and an unwavering commitment to storytelling, Phil Vassar continues to inspire both fans and peers, proving that great songs endure across generations.

Crafter of intricate, closely observed songs

“Her songs feel at once fresh faced and firmly rooted, driven by the whispery sensuality of her voice.”

The Boston Globe

“She creates an entire, detailed world in verse, and takes you there with beautiful and understated melody.”
