In the mid-1970s and ‘80s in SoCal, bands like Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, and Toto blended jazz, R&B, and pop to create a new soft style: yacht rock.
Mark O’Connell took over as the drummer for Taking Back Sunday all the way back in 2000 after Steven DeJoseph left the band. And now, 24 years later, O’Connell is leaving the band, too.
