Yacht Rock\u2019s Yachtley Crew hits The Sound<\/p>\n

There are plenty of yacht rock combos touring at the moment, but Yachtley Crew, who stop in at The Sound on Aug. 14, are in a league of their own. Performing dressed in signature white Captain\u2019s uniforms, their covers of \u201970s and \u201980s \u00c5soft pop rock songs by the likes of Boz Scaggs, Hall & Oates or Looking Glass, are all top notch. Notably however, Yachtley Crew are also now recording artists in their own right, not only releasing updated versions of standards like \u201cCome and Get Your Love\u201d and \u201cMagic,\u201d but also excellent original songs such as \u201cPain of Losing You\u201d and \u201cSex On The Beach,\u201d which sound like they could\u2019ve been hits in the era they emulate.<\/p>\n

Yachtley Crew: Friday, Aug. 14 at The Sound, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., 8 p.m. $56 & up.<\/p>\n

Black Heart back at the Casbah<\/p>\n

The Black Heart Procession returns to The Casbah for a rare two-night stand on Aug. 14 and 15. Founded in 1997 by Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel, the duo uses a minimalistic approach with both piano lines and guitar work, alongside less conventional instruments such as a saw, for haunting, cinematic songs that get filed under indie rock, but also have elements of classical music. The Black Heart Procession recently reissued their debut album, \u201c1,\u201d with a single from it, \u201cLook In My Eyes,\u201d released to coincide with their current tour. That debut album is likely to feature heavily in the night\u2019s set list, but whatever they play from their catalog will have their audience hanging on every note.<\/p>\n

The Black Heart Procession: Friday & Saturday, Aug. 14 & 15 at The Casbah, 2501 Kettner Blvd. 8:30 p.m. $37.<\/p>\n

Southern Rock\u2019s next of kin hits Music Box<\/p>\n

Southern rock has made a comeback in recent years, led in part by the children of the original musicians who created it. Such is the case with Duane Betts, who plays Music Box on Aug. 19.

Currently on the road touring his latest album, \u201cIsle of Hope,\u201d Betts\u2019 music is strong enough to stand on its own, but fans of the Allman Brothers will be happy to hear the apple has not fallen far from the tree.<\/p>\n
