SummerNight 2026 Headliner - OTI

Come dance the night away and hear some fantastic Yacht Rock music from Alabama's very own, Outside the Inside! The Montgomery band has been playing together for the better part of 20 years, and is sailing in to set the tone as this year's SummerNight Headliner.

Yacht Rock has existed as a genre since the late 1970s as the perfect blend of soul, jazz, and R & B music. The soft rock style was named for its laid back vibes, often associated with the leisure of being on a yacht. Many of your favorite hits from those years fall into this category so whether you've been a fan for decades, or are new to the genre, Yacht Rock is sure to have something for everyone!
