The Dan Who Knew Too Much: Exciting news about Steely Dan's 2016 Tour is spooling out, as we speak, on the Official Steely Dan Facebook Page. (Our on-site dates page is here).
Indeed, in 2016, the Facebook Page is often where officially confirmed dates, events, and special announcements will appear first.
They're the quickest draw in town, folks. So when it comes to announcements, confirmed events, and news, SD @ Facebook will often shoot first.
...and among aforementioned news items, a very exiting one is that music legend Steve Winwood will co-headline the summer leg of dates! We already know from experience that this will be one spectacular night of music! |

Snubbed
Again: The voters for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have once
again seen fit to overlook Steely Dan. It seems as though Donald and Walter's vigorous lobbying
during the '97 season all went for naught.
But
not to worry -- vengeance will be theirs (and ours)! Everybody
start training for The Hall Of
Fame Induction/Tribunal For Rhythmic Justice Night!!
