LESS tribute and more homage, Nearly Dan is the Holy Grail to the ever-growing legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker.

And the good news for those fans is that the show is on its way to Gateshead Sage this weekend.

Nearly Dan’s approach is faithful though not reverential, relaxed but as tight as their namesakes: bringing their own unique spirit and spontaneous humour to every performance.

Nearly Dan (now in its 20th year on the road) promise all the Steely Dan favourites in a two hour-plus show, featuring tracks from the red velvet groove of Countdown to Ecstasy to the sultry suave that is The Royal Scam.

A real treat for all music lovers and an unmissable concert for any throwback Steely Dan fan of any generation.
