Considering how Train had a guest spot on what turned out to be Daryl Hall and John Oates’ final single in 2018, it shouldn’t be too much of a shock that the soft-rock hitmaker is admired by one of the ‘80s’ most prominent yacht rock outfits.

Tickets to see Train play MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa on Tuesday, Aug. 20 are still available and start at $36.
