S6.E12: Artist Focus: Ned Doheny
Where does Ned Doheny fit into this ongoing conversation? Might he be one of four on yacht rock’s Mt. Rushmore of under-the-radar solo acts?

He’s a bit of an enigma, which is why Tom and John took a deeper dive 🛎️ into the life, career and musical stylings of one Ned Doheny. Special album focus on Hard Candy.Listen and Subscribe:Find the podcast platform of your choice here.Referenced and Related:Playlist of songs featured on Out of the MainJohn’s Spotify Yacht Rock PlaylistTom’s Spotify Yacht Rock PlaylistIntro/outro: Stock Music “We’re Here” composed by John H.
