Nearly Dan

About Nearly Dan The demands of the music of Steely Dan are high, both in technical proficiency and in preserving the sarcastic, knowing attitude originally conceived. Nearly Dan excels on both fronts, fusing together the chops of 12 diversely-talented artists (with backgrounds in jazz, rock, R&B, country, and swing) into a veritable butcher’s shop window of precisely cut bass lines; surgical, highly reminiscent guitar solos; a biting yet sophisticated horn section and richly marbled beats. Nearly Dan coolly presents their own arrangements of those masterpiece compositions such as the bouncing “Reelin’ In the Years,” the sorrowful, karmic circularity of “Do It Again,” or the funny but mortified “Peg.” Satiate your hunger for music with depth when Nearly Dan takes the stage. Don’t just take our word for it! The 12 members of Nearly Dan have shared the stage with celebrities of world renown, such as Stevie Wonder, Sammy Davis Jr., Ray Charles, Bob Hope, Perry Como, Lou Rawls, the Four Tops, the Temptations, The O’jays, Smokey Robinson, Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton John, Huey Lewis, Tower Of Power, Tito Puente, Natalie Cole and Gladys Knight. But we know, you want to hear from the real experts – our fans! Hit play and check out what keeps them coming back show after show!
