Nearly Dan, a tribute to Steely Dan, plays a two-hour set of Steely Dan classics and deep cuts at The Fire Station.
Nearly Dan bring their Steely Dan tribute to The Fire Station on Saturday 13 March, with the show starting at 19:30 and doors opening at 19:00. For anyone who knows the original band, that's the one Donald Fagen and Walter Becker put together, and Nearly Dan have spent three decades on the road playing their songs.
They're not a carbon copy act, and they're open about it. They describe themselves as faithful but not reverential, bringing their own spirit and a bit of spontaneous humour to every gig. It's a set that runs over two hours, pairing the deep cuts with the classics, so you'll get the well-known tracks alongside the ones that only the real devotees usually recognise.
The material they draw on covers a good stretch of the Steely Dan catalogue, from Countdown to Ecstasy and The Royal Scam through to Aja and Gaucho. They also pull from Donald Fagen's solo record The Nightfly, so it's not just the band's work on the bill. Between the two hours plus of music, you'll hear the hits and the deeper album tracks side by side.
