Three Sheets to the Wind pays authentic tribute to AM Gold Yacht Rock classics from the ’70s and ’80s–undoubtedly the smoothest music ever created by mankind. It was an era of high gas prices and oil embargoes that led America back to the simple joys of sailing, piña coladas, mustaches, and love…sweet love.
The heartbeat of the band is short-shorted drummer Danny Marnier. Bass duties fall to steady shipmate Sonny Pockett, while manly keyboardist Walter Ego, guitarist Captain Max Power, and the ever-dapper multi-instrumentalist Topper Dandy rock you gently with their sweeter-than-TaB harmonies. Anchoring the port side of the stage are the Rounding Cape Horns—Goldman Sax, Mo Stache, and Higgins.
An excellent choice for the discerning event planner who “gets it,†Three Sheets employs industry-leading direct amping and in-ear monitor technology—enabling the band to be volume-appropriate for every event. Our nautically-themed enhanced lighting package adds tasteful excitement, while not going overboard. The band considers itself to be the “wedding band for people who hate wedding bands,” and looks forward to helping you create the greatest night of your lifeâ„¢.
