Drew's 30th Birthday Bash feat. Yacht Rock Revue

You'd have to live under a rock in this town to not be familiar with Mercy Lounge general manager Andrew Mischke. Between handling the club's PR, booking local bands, hosting the club's weekly rock 'n' roll trivia event and spending eight nights a week behind the bar, Mischke is the face of Nashville nightlife's preeminent establishment. He's also a helluva guy with an unhealthy appreciation for yacht rock. While it may be his day (and night) job to keep on the lookout for the freshest indie or hip-hop acts, his free time—what little of it there is—is spent shamelessly gettin' down to the smooth sounds of Hall & Oates, Loggins & Messina, Michael McDonald and Christopher Cross. You know, the stuff his parents likely conceived him to. To celebrate his 30th birthday, Mischke is throwing himself a yacht rock-themed soiree that'll feature the tributary talents of Yacht Rock Revue: Atlanta's premier yacht rock experience and self-proclaimed "smoothest band ever."
