MAKE TONIGHT A WONDERFUL THING!

In 2010, co-founders David Adler and David Stoler (The Steely Daves) thought it'd be a great idea to put together a tribute “SHOW” for Steely Dan, featuring the best musicians in the Madison, WI music scene. Madison is located in Dane County, WI, thus the name. The first Steely Dane show featured over 30 of Madison's best rock and jazz musicians, and it sold out the High Noon Saloon. Not ones to waste a herculean effort of arranging a full night's worth of the Dan's best stuff, the crew decided to do it again, and again,…..and oops, now it's no longer a show, it's a BAND. Since then, the band has trimmed down to the current 14-piece family that features a four-piece horn section, two female backup singers, two guitars, two keyboards, vibes, and percussion...aAll of the instruments necessary to recreate the amazing mixes of the Dan's albums and live performances. The members of the band have won countless instrumentalist of the year awards, and there's even a couple grammy nominations in the group. The band has won multiple awards for best tribute band, they've sold out theaters from Chicago to Minneapolis, and packed summer festivals scattered throughout as well. Their songbook features over 50 songs from both Steely Dan and Donald Fagen's solo career, allowing them to play different shows night after night, even including complete album shows for The Royal Scam, Aja, and Gaucho.
