How to Hire STEELY DAN For Your Event!
GRAMMY AWARD winning Steely Dan is an American rock band founded in 1971
in New York by Walter Becker (guitars, bass, backing vocals) and Donald Fagen
(keyboards, lead vocals).
Walter Becker of Steely Dan died from complications of esophageal cancer
on September 3, 2017. In a note released to the media,
Donald Fagen
remembered his longtime friend and bandmate, and promised to "keep the music we
created together alive as long as I can with the Steely Dan band."
After Becker's death, Steely Dan honored commitments to perform a short
North American tour in October 2017 and three concert dates in the United
Kingdom and Ireland for Bluesfest on a double bill with
the Doobie
Brothers. The band played its first concert following Becker's death in
Thackerville, Oklahoma, on October 13. In tribute to Becker, they performed his
solo song "Book of Liars", with
Donald Fagen singing
the lead vocals, at several concerts on the tour.

In December 2017, Fagen said that he would rather have retired the Steely Dan
name after Becker's death, and would instead have toured with the current
iteration of the group under another name, but was persuaded not to by promoters
for commercial reasons.
In 2018, Steely Dan performed on a summer tour of the United States with
the Doobie
Brothers as co-headliners. The band also played a nine-show residency at
the Beacon Theatre in New York City that October.
In February 2019, the band embarked on a tour of Great Britain with
Steve Winwood.
Guitarist Connor Kennedy of The Nightflyers joined the live band, beginning with
a nine-night residency at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas in April 2019.
Steely Dan's albums are notable for the characteristically 'warm' and
'dry' production sound, and the sparing use of echo and reverberation. Steely
Dan is famous for their use of chord sequences and harmonies that explore
the area of musical tension between traditional pop sounds and jazz.
Their lyrics contain subtle and encoded references, unusual (and sometimes
original) slang expressions, and a wide variety of "word games." The obscure and
sometimes teasing lyrics have given rise to considerable efforts by fans to
explain the "inner meaning" of certain songs. Jazz is a recurring theme, and
there are numerous other film, television and literary references and allusions.
