Tonight marks the seventh installment of Stay Smooth, the every-so-often Yacht Rock-inspired party that's the brainchild of hot shit Chicago DJs Bald Eagle and STV SLV. What started as a gathering of friends and those in the know in the intimate upstairs lounge at Schubas has become a full-fledged calendar event, and the captain's hats, jean shorts, and deck shoes will be out in full force. Still confused on the Yacht Rock concept? Here's video that'll clarify:

Brooklyn's Tigercity rides a wave of post-SXSW buzz into town to takeover the Stay Smooth live performance duties, and their Hall & Oates-meets-Jackson 5 vibe will keep the short shorts shakin' all night.

Stay Smooth VII is tonight at Schubas, 10:30 p.m., $5, 21+
