“One-off concert cruises have long been a staple summertime activity. But recently they have expanded, offering more frequent outings and greater variety in their acts, with electronica and campy tribute cover bands added to the traditional nostalgia acts. Both New York Water Taxi and Circle Line Downtown added regular music tours to their lineup this year and plan to continue them next year. And the six-year-old Rocks Off series, which booked the Kid Koala gig, has been growing rapidly. It will do 104 cruises this year, up from 66 two years ago, said Jake Szufnarowski, the company’s owner.” [NYTimes]
