STEELY DAN.

Exceptional musicianship meets one of rock music's most distinctive and demanding catalogs.

Founded in 2012, Deacon Blues is an eleven-musician Chicago tribute ensemble inspired by the music of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Its roots trace to Bebop Daddys, a jazz-rock collective formed by Steven Kikoen, Jonathan Hey and Cash Michaels.

The group’s history includes appearances by special guests such as Howard Levy, Paul Wertico, Bernard Purdie, Billy Branch and Sugar Blue. These guest performances are not implied for every booking; inquire about available show configurations.
