- **Event Name**: AN EVENING WITH DEACON BLUES - ALL STAR TRIBUTE TO STEELY DAN
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 17 Jan, 2026 at 08:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Deacon Blues are twelve stellar musicians, composers and educators based in Chicago, and they share a unique passion for the Becker/Fagen repository, better known to the world as Steely Dan. Under the musical leadership of Steven Kikoen &amp; Thomas Linsk, the group reads as a “who’s who” of world-class musicians. Chicago luminaries and Grammy® winners include Howard Levy (Kenny Loggins, Paul Simon, Béla Fleck); Paul Wertico (Pat Metheny, Wertico, Cain, &amp; Gray); Corky Siegel (Chamber Blues); Ben Johnson &amp; Charles Heath IV (Ramsey Lewis); Wally Hustin (Phoebe Snow, Dave Mason, Mark Stern, David Benoit); Chuck Webb (Aretha Franklin, Ramsey Lewis, &amp; Al Di Meola); Sugar Blue (The Rolling Stones); Billy Branch (The Sons of Blues); Khari Parker (George Benson, Destiny’s Child); Richard Patterson (Miles Davis, Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs); and Bob Lizik (The Beach Boys; Brian Wilson) – and are either permanent members or featured special guests of the band. Original Dan session musician and legendary drummer Bernard “Pretty” Purdie appeared with Deacon Blues at several of their Arcada and Des Plaines Theatre shows. Deacon Blues has structured their live repertoire to encompass a wider range of the Dan’s prolific material––all the “hits” are there, but also include rarities as well as repertoire from the Dan’s 1991 reunion prototype––The New York Rock &amp; Soul Revue. Deacon Blues has consistently played to sold-out audiences, and has appeared on regional and national television. In the words of legendary Chicago FM Radio personality Bob Stroud, “If you are a Dan fan, you owe it to yourself to see Deacon Blues, they’ve got all the right musicians with all the right chops, they are an incredible tribute to the music of Steely Dan!” Deacon Blues will perform The Dan’s timeless hits including “Reelin’ In The Years,” “Hey Nineteen,” “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” “Peg,” “Do It Again,” “FM,” “Kid Charlemagne,” and so many more!
