Chuck Shute interviews Nicholas Niespodziani from Yacht Rock Revue, a band that opened for Train and REO Speedwagon. Nick discusses the band's unique yacht rock covers and their energetic, fun-filled performances. The band emphasizes attention to detail and musicianship, playing songs at a faster tempo they call "cocaine tempo." They've been influenced by Train's audience engagement and have plans to escalate their own audience interaction. The band has a new double album, "Escape Artist," featuring original songs with a yacht rock vibe. They've toured with notable acts like Kenny Loggins and Eddie Money, and their guitarist, Mark, has an impressive resume, including stints with Butch Walker and Skid Row.
