"Who is Pat McGee?"

“It’s the most well-run festival I’ve ever been involved with…” reflects singer-songwriter Pat McGee about his experience on The Rock Boat. This nine-time TRB legend joins Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark to reminisce on memories from the Boat that he helped build.

Pat fondly recalls some of his favorite memories, including Edwin McCain reciting Braveheart, Zac Brown performing late night in the casino, and the ability to go down the waterslide mid-Lido deck show.

"Who is Alison Hammer?"

Alison Hammer is a Writer. Reader. Creative Director. Word-lover. Blogger. She is author of “You and Me and Us” and the upcoming novel, “Little Pieces of Me”. While that makes for quite an impressive resume, to fellow boaters, she holds the distinction of having been on every Rock Boat Charter that has ever sailed. Alison joined Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark to talk all things Rock Boat.  She is impressed by Sixthman’s ability to “Up their game every year.” From her last minute decision while at UF to hop on Rock n’ Roll as Sea (ie TRB I), to years of supporting Sister Hazel’s “Lyrics for Life” pediatric cancer charity, and more recently taking in all in as a fan - Alison brings a unique perspective that the podcast has not yet heard.

"Who is Patrick Murphy (of Gaelic Storm)?"

Nine-time Rock Boater, Patrick Murphy of Gaelic Storm joins Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark to talk all things Rock Boat. Sure, Patrick recently broke both legs jumping off of a balcony, but he’s still able to walk listeners through his favorite TRB memories.  Patrick opens up about getting introduced to the Boat and the initial fears that his Irish/Celtic rock might not fit in on the boat - I know, pretty ironic, as he has transformed into an icon of The Rock Boat family. Relive Patrick’s favorite memories of the boat, including finding an authentic local watering hole in Mexico, making a splash during his pool deck show, and his chance encounter with Dave Furukawa, “aka Dave the Blind Guy”.

p.s. Favorite drink on the boat??? (You might be surprised!)

"Who are Jack Weppler and Alex Laudani (of SCR)?"

Two-Time Rock Boaters, Jack Weppler and Alex “Lau” Laudani of Sir Cadian Rhythm (SCR) join Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark to talk all things Rock Boat.

Lau and Jack reflect that words don’t do describing TRB justice and an individual needs to experience the 4 days of musical ecstasy to fully grasp the camaraderie, and sense of community on the boat.
