Advance tickets are on sale for $75 from Ticketmaster or at www.moreinparadise.com. Attendees must be 21. Parking is free.

The “Yacht Rock” songs that are the soundtrack to a generation and classic rock radio staples across the country emerged primarily from southern California during one of the greatest periods of music. As younger generations of music fans fall in love and embrace these classic rock/soft rock hits, these songs are becoming bigger now than at any time since their heyday, which stretched between 1976 and 1983.

“Yacht Rock the Dock” will feature the following performers:

• Ambrosia, the band known and loved by a multitude of fans since the 1970s, is now more alive and compelling than ever. This five-time Grammy-nominated ensemble is exploring new musical territory and bringing an exceptional musical performance to stages everywhere.

• John Ford Coley is most revered as half of the Grammy nominated duo England Dan and John Ford Coley. Churning out many memorable hits during this era, some of John Ford Coley’s songs are: “Love Is The Answer,” “Gone Too Far,” “I’d Really Love To See You Tonight,” “We’ll Never Have To Say Goodbye Again,” “Nights Are Forever Without You” and “Sad To Belong.”

• Peter Beckett, known as “The Voice of Player,” is the original lead singer and songwriter of the band Player, voted by Billboard Magazine’s honor roll as Best New Single Artist for 1978 for their international number one hit “Baby Come Back.” As a follow up on the record charts, Beckett and Player also enjoyed great success with their hit “This Time I’m In It For Love.”

• Elliot Lurie is a singer and songwriter best known for the hit “Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl).” Recorded by Looking Glass featuring Lurie on vocals and guitar, “Brandy” was released in the summer of 1972. Looking Glass charted one more time, with “Jimmy Loves Maryanne” in 1973. Reaching number 33, the record has become something of a cause célèbre among some 1970s music fans. Featuring Lurie’s distinctive vocals and produced by the legendary Arif Mardin, some feel it’s a more distinguished recording than “Brandy.”

•Walter Egan is a massively famous rockstar who struck gold in the 1970s with his smash hit “Magnet and Steel” which appeared on “Not Shy,” his second album. Aside from “Magnet and Steel,” Egan’s song “Hot Summer Nights” was a massive hit as well and was also certified Gold. It hit the number 18 spot on the U.S. Billboard Top 100 chart, number three on the Australian Chart, number 21 in Belgium, number 23 on the Canadian Singles chart, number 28 on the New Zealand chart, and number 13 on the South African chart.
