Legendary
jazz-rock icons Walter Becker and Donald
Fagen have announced that STEELY
DAN will once again hit the road,
performing 28 concerts as part of their Heavy
Rollers 2007 Tour beginning May
5th in Memphis, Tennessee. Originally
planned as a 21-city tour, promoters have
been racing to add dates nationwide to
meet ticket demand. Highlights of the duo’s
schedule include five nights at New York
City's Beacon Theater, a headliner performance
at this year’s New Orleans Jazz & Heritage
Festival on May 6th, and concerts in major
U.S. markets including Chicago, Atlanta,
Detroit, Philadelphia, and Boston. Tickets
are on sale now through Ticketmaster.
Concertgoers can
expect a hefty draft of the incomparable
Steely Dan experience this year. Supported
by their renowned 10-piece band — including
Keith Carlock on drums, Freddie Washington
on bass, and Jon Herington on guitar — Becker
and Fagen will draw from their deep
catalog and showcase Steely Dan's signature
slinky grooves, sleek subversive lyrics,
and infectious hits.
The Dan's extraordinary,
three-decade-plus catalog of smash
songs is also captured on The Best
of Steely Dan: The Millennium Collection,
due October 2 on Universal Records,
and The Donald Fagen Trilogy Collection
coming out May 22 on Rhino Records.

STEELY DAN helped
define the soundtrack of the '70s with
hits such as Reelin’ in
the Years, Rikki
Don't Lose That Number, Deacon Blues,
Peg, Babylon Sisters, and Hey
Nineteen, culled from their
seven platinum albums issued between
1972 and 1980 (including 1977's groundbreaking “Aja”).
They reunited in the early '90s and have
toured throughout the decade and beyond,
releasing multi-Grammy winner “Two
Against Nature” in 2000 and its
acclaimed follow-up “Everything
Must Go” in 2003. They were inducted
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in
2001. |
