Nearly Dan: The Spirit & Sound of Steely Dan
30th Anniversary Tour
Breezy. Note-for-note. You’ll wanna do it again.
It’s been over 40 years since Steely Dan released their debut Can’t buy a Thrill, featuring hits ‘Do it Again’ and ‘Reelin’ in the years.’ There are also ever-growing legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and lyrical stylings of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker live. This is where Nearly Dan save the day.
Less tribute and more homage, they’re faithful but not reverential and relaxed but as tight as their namesakes, bringing their own unique spirit and spontaneous humour.
Nearly Dan, now in its 30th year on the road, press on into 2027 with a full year of tour dates booked. Plus a set list featuring deep cuts along with all the favourite Steely Dan classics. There’ll be grooving tracks from the Countdown to Ecstasy to the super cool of celebrated albums The Royal Scam, Aja and Gaucho. There’ll even be numbers from Donald Fagen’s classic solo masterpiece The Nightfly.
Join us for an unmissable show for music fans of all ages.
