It’s time to go back, Jack… and DO IT AGAIN!
Music’s Jazz Rock Ambassadors to the galaxy, STEELY DAN return to The Riverside… for 2 NIGHTS! The Shuffle Diplomacy, Tour 2011
Rock & Roll Hall of Famers STEELY DAN dazzled both the public and the critics in 2009 with their classic-albums-in-full Rent Party Tour. Responding to overwhelming popular demand, Steely Dan masterminds Walter Becker and Donald Fagen bring on more action with theShuffle Diplomacy Twenty Eleven summer tour. The tour will showcase greatest hits and deep cuts alike. Select shows will also feature performances of complete classic albums, and set-lists determined by fan voting online. Steely Dan have announced this year’s program will also include special guests, and an idealistic strategy for World Peace. Acclaimed jazz artist Sam Yahel is on board as the tour’s main support act.
For Shuffle Diplomacy Twenty Eleven, Fagen and Becker bring back their awesome group of players, this year dubbed the Miles High Big Band: Keith Carlock (drums); Jon Herington (guitar); Freddie Washington (bass); Jim Beard (keys); Michael Leonhart, Walt Weiskopf, Roger Rosenberg and Jim Pugh (horns) — along with their saucy backup trio, theEmbassy Brats: Carolyn Leonhart, Cindy Mizelle, and Catherine Russell.
