The Dans of Steel explores and celebrates the music of Steely Dan, the prolific American rock band founded in 1972 by mastermind’s Donald Fagen and Walter Becker. Featuring five deeply soulful musicians who came together in admiration of the detailed craftings and artistic splendor of Steely Dan. The Dans of Steel, Waddell Bell, Ronnie Smith, Dave Shul, Malcolm Marshall and Raliegh Neal (all of them dads) explore, “funkafy” and lovingly recreate songs from throughout the Steely Dan canon that brings together jazz, rock, and R&B sensibilities. You may recognize Raleigh and Dave from their work with Michael Franti & Spearhead.

Love Mischief, featuring the incredible Curtin Brothers, is Mr. Hat's favorite NorCal Jamband on the rise. Expect intense jamming and high-spirited interpretations of your classic rock favorites, mashed up with a few original tunes.
