Music Matters With MonkeyBoy & Ziggy Season 2 Episode 15

Ziggy’s Yacht Rock Survival Guide (Step 1: Don’t Let MonkeyBoy Drive)

All aboard! This week, Music Matters dives into the breezy, polished, endlessly catchy world of Yacht Rock — the genre that gave us Michael McDonald’s unmistakable harmonies, Toto’s studio perfection, Kenny Loggins’ golden run, and Christopher Cross sailing straight into Grammy history. MonkeyBoy & Ziggy explore where the sound came from, why it exploded in the late ’70s, the session legends who secretly shaped it, and how a comedy web series accidentally revived an entire genre. Whether you’re a die‑hard smooth‑rock fan or just Yacht‑curious, this episode is your captain’s guide to the smoothest music ever made.
