Steely Dan Announce: Think Fast, Steely Dan Summer Tour 2008


Steely Dan
The iconic Rock & Roll Hall of Famers, Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, have announced that Steely Dan will once again hit the road performing several concerts as part of their THINK FAST, STEELY DAN SUMMER TOUR 2008, beginning June 8 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The first 14 concert dates have been announced and will see the Grammy award-winning duo swing through several East Coast cities before headlining a final concert in Canada at the prestigious Ottawa Jazz Festival on July 5. Highlights of the tour include concerts in Atlanta, Boston, and Toronto as well as a trio of shows at New York City’s historic Beacon Theatre and two headlining performances at the world-renowned Montreal Jazz Festival. Additional concerts are expected to be announced shortly with tickets to select shows beginning to go on sale March 24 – visit Steelydan.com and check local listings for updated information.

Becker and Fagen will draw from their deep, powerful, three-decade-plus catalog of signature hits and album favorites, all of uncompromising quality. The dapper duo will be supported, as always, by their tight, sophisticated band of the world-class R&B and jazz players. Set lists may also sample from Fagen’s just released Nightfly Trilogy, and Becker’s upcoming solo album, Circus Money, due June 10. Knowing the duo’s subversive tastes, a few surprises are likely to pop up in the set as well. In addition, concertgoers will be treated to stellar opening acts, hand-selected by connoisseurs Becker and Fagen, including rising jazz star Sam Yahel and his Organ Trio and other acts to be announced.
