"Who's on Rock Boat XXIV? (with Sixthman Jen, Trae Vedder, & Ken Block)

Rock Boat Lineup Reveal and Artist Insights

Let’s all get lost together in the Jungle…

Join us in this TRB XXIV preview, recorded in sea-cret from an undisclosed location on-board the Norwegian Pearl. This episode is a real treat as we sit down with Sixthman Jen, Trae Vedder, and Sister Hazel’s Ken Block to reveal the incredible lineup for the next Rock Boat and share some behind-the-scenes insights into the event's planning and artist dynamics.

Summary

We kick off the episode reminiscing highlights of TRB XXIII, where artists and fans alike built lasting memories over the span of a few magical days. An annual highlight for many is the Sixthman Sessions at Sea. Camaraderie and music created during these sessions have left an indelible mark on the artists and those privileged to witness the live performance.

Our conversation then shifts to the Positivity Jam, led by the incomparable Brian Fechino. Termed the hidden gem of the Rock Boat,we spotlight this incredible late-night jam session, which sees a majority of the artists on the boat come together in a unique display of collective energy and spirit.

We also touch on the Rock Boat Family - a community that is fostered between boats through the event's social platforms and the many “ripples” of TRB. The episode takes a moment to send love to Twigger from Gaelic Storm, emphasizing the support and unity within the TRB Family.

As we dive into the lineup reveal, we share our excitement for the return of familiar favorites and the introduction of fresh faces. We discuss the careful curation process, aiming to balance the lineup with a mix of genres and vibes to cater to all tastes.

We're thrilled to announce that Happy Landing, Hotel Fiction, and Nicotine Dolls are among the new additions, bringing their unique sounds to the boat. We also reveal the return of TRB vets like Red Wanting Blue, Welshly Arms, Tonic, and Will Hoge, who have become synonymous with the event's ethos.

The episode builds up to the grand reveal of headlining acts, including Walk the Moon and Echosmith, and American Authors who promise to bring their infectious energy and hit songs to the high seas. (Hint: If you are looking for AA’s Zac next Boat, there’s a good chance you will find him in the hot tub!)

We wrap up the episode with a heartfelt thank you to our listeners and the entire rock boat community for their passion and support. We tease the theme for the next rock boat, "Welcome to the Jungle," and encourage everyone to sign up for the pre-sale to secure their spot on this unforgettable musical voyage.

So, there you have it, folks – a lineup that's sure to rock the boat and create memories that will last a lifetime. Stay tuned for an exciting Season 4 of The BoatCast and make sure you subscribe today to get all of the updates, and we can't wait to see you on board!

"Who is Michael Lombardo?"

"Behind the Scenes with Michael Lombardo: Banking on an Incredible Rock Boat XXIII"

Welcome back, fellow music enthusiasts, to another episode of our podcast. Today, we're wrapping up season three with a bang, featuring our final rock boater interview before we sail into season four. Our guest, Michael Lombardo, joins us from Bellingham, Washington, to share his incredible journey through music, mentorship, and the magic of the rock boat community.

Michael's story begins in Los Angeles, where his passion for music led him to work at the iconic K-Rock radio station. Michael's love for music never waned, even as he transitioned into a banking career. He and his wife, Michelle, have been deeply involved in mentoring bands since 2005, offering advice on fiscal responsibility and survival tips for life on the road—like the indispensable value of Ziploc bags.

Michael was introduced to the Rock Boat five years ago and has been hooked ever since. He's attended several Sixthman cruises, but TRB holds a special place in his heart. Michael shares his experiences of the unique environment where artists and fans mingle as equals, breaking down the barriers that often exist at traditional concerts.

During our conversation, Michael recounts his first Rock Boat experience, which came at a time when he was rediscovering his personal joys post-divorce. He was invited by friends to set sail, despite his initial skepticism about cruises. The trip turned out to be a surreal experience that he wouldn't trade for anything.

Michael also highlights the importance of The Rock Boat Family's community and how it supports artists beyond the cruise itself. He shares a personal story of helping the band Fox Royale during their European tour with Young the Giant, showcasing the deep connections and support system within the Family.

We delve into the evolution of the rock boat experience, from the booking process to the customer service improvements made by Sixthman over the years. Michael praises the organization for its enhanced communication and the bold move of booking Young the Giant for the upcoming cruise, which he believes will bring a fresh dynamic to the event. As we discuss the anticipation for the next rock boat, Michael expresses his excitement about introducing a new boater to the community and the thrill of witnessing their first-time experience. He also shares his hopes for spontaneous collaborations between artists on the boat, which he feels are the essence of the rock boat's charm. Finally, Michael offers some insider tips for future rock boaters, including the best way to spend time before and after the cruise.

"Who is DNA?"

Hailing from the vibrant music scene of Florida, DNA has a sound that is mature beyond their years. What truly sets them apart is their ability to combine a captivating stage presence with authentic rock and roll sound. For anyone lucky enough to be on sold-out TRB XXIII, this will surely make for an unforgettable experience. The band's commitment to genuine, passionate performance renders them a perfect fit for the eclectic, high-energy atmosphere of Sixthman's yearly music cruise.

The members of DNA are eagerly anticipating their upcoming performance on the Rock Boat. For Kai Beres (son of Sister Hazel bassist and Rock Boat Founder, Jett Beres), this will be his 3rd boat, but first as an artist. He is excited this year to view the TRB experience through his newcomer bandmates' eyes. They have gotten a taste of the supportive music community, having previously played at Rock By the Sea.

The group recently had the opportunity to go to the recording studio and they open up about that enlightening process - a maturing, pivotal moment for the young band that has since changed the way they create music. They look forward to TRB XXIII, another significant milestone in their career, that will provide them with a platform to share their music with a broader audience and connect with other artists in the industry.

As a rising band, DNA is continuously pushing themselves to grow and evolve as musicians. They take their craft seriously and are always looking for ways to improve their sound. The Rock Boat has provided them with an opportunity to not only showcase their talent but also learn from other established artists in the industry and hopefully connections that will last far beyond the cruise.
