The spirit and sound of Steely Dan arrives in Buxton, on a tour that’s taken in the Jazz Café London and Concorde 2 in Brighton. Less tribute and more homage, Nearly Dan is saviour to the growing legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Nearly Dan’s approach is faithful, though not reverential, and relaxed but as tight as their namesakes. They bring their own unique spirit and spontaneous humour to every concert.
‘They are a totally absorbing group of musicians who remain true to the spirit of Steely Dan.’
