What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

Less tribute and more homage, Nearly Dan is savior to the ever-growing legions of Dan fans, desperate to hear the meticulously crafted grooves and allusive lyrical style of Donald Fagen & 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.

It’s been over 40 years since the release of the first Steely Dan album “Can’t buy a Thrill”, featuring the hits “Do it Again” and “Reelin’ in the years.”

Nearly Dan is now in its 29th year on the road press on into 2026 with a full year of tour dates booked and an exciting new line up, showcasing a set list featuring deep cuts along with all the favourite Steely Dan classics. In a two hour-plus show, featuring tracks from the groove of Countdown to Ecstasy to the super cool of celebrated albums The Royal Scam. Aja and Gaucho also featuring Donald Fagen’s classic solo masterpiece “The Nightfly”

"It's just great to see The Dan's songs played with love and respect."

14 and 15 year olds will need to be under the supervision of an adult and each adult may accompany a maximum of 2 children.

16 and 17 year olds may attend but must leave the venue once the show has ended.
