BATH: Chapel Arts Centre

SAT 29TH JUN, 2013 7.30pm

They just had to return. Their last show in Bath from this “truly outstanding group of musicians was extraordinarily successful. The Chapel was Standing Room Only, too packed to dance, as full as I've seen it, and everyone had big smiles as they filed out at the end” wrote Listomania’s Charley Dunlap.

Less tribute and more high quality homage, the nine strong Nearly Dan promise all the Steely Dan favourites in a two hour-plus show, featuring tracks from the groove of Aja and Countdown to Ecstasy to the super cool of celebrated albums The Royal Scam and Gaucho.

Can a tribute band ever amount to more than karaoke with pretensions? Ironically Nearly Dan is better equipped to give fans want they want rather than the real thing - as witnessed by the Financial Times no less! “I preferred Nearly Dan. I loved them. Their approach was faithful but not reverential; relaxed but never sloppy. Those sassy cynical songs were given life by their sheer enthusiasm and passion for playing. It was a great night out”.
