Steely Dan tribute band coming to the Braumart

Steely Dane, the ultimate Steely Dan Tribute, performs Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Braumart in Iron Mountain.

IRON MOUNTAIN — Steely Dane, the ultimate Steely Dan Tribute — No. 1 in the Midwest — comes to The Braumart for a performance Saturday, Nov. 9.

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the concert to start at 7 p.m.

This will be the first time Steely Dane has played in the Upper Peninsula, Braumart Executive Director Jinx Brew said.

The songs of Steely Dan form the soundtrack for so many lives. The band, more than any other, brought together jazz, rock, and rhythm and blues sensibilities to form a whole new kind of pop music. These are the songs that the public associates with the warm summer of 1978.

“This large ensemble fills the hall with soul and smarts. It’s a big band with a big band sound, and it’s damn near perfect,” John Roach, Madison Magazine, stated in an article.

Winner of multiple awards for best tribute band, Steely Dane is dedicated to not only faithfully reproducing the Steely Dan and Donald Fagen songbook, but to bringing an energetic live-show experience to the crowd.

Fourteen of Dane County’s best jazz and rock musicians have banded together around their passion for Steely Dan music, playing in the same configuration as the Steely Dan touring band, including a four-piece horn section and three background singers. Shows consist of hits and deep cuts and sometimes even complete albums and are sure to have you out of your seats singing along.

From “Deacon Blues” to “My Old School” Steely Dane they will bring all the hits.

“With enthusiasm and expert musicianship, Steely Dane is a joy to watch,” the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel declared.

“Thanks to our community sponsors, Lume, WLUC TV6 and Braumart volunteers to allow us to bring it to the area,” Brew said.

“The Braumart is proud to present this awesome Steely Dan Tribute to our community,” she added.

Tickets are $25 and available online at www.thebraumart.org and at the door for $30 while supplies last.

Starting at $2.99/week.
