An Evening with Dirty Logic – A Steely Dan Tribute
Jul 28 @ 7:30 pm
Isis Music Hall

https://dirtylogic.band/

Comprised of an all-star line-up of some of Asheville North Carolina’s finest musicians, Dirty Logic works hard to create a show that both honors the exceptional music of Steely Dan and showcases the incredible skill and unique musical voice of each of the band’s members. This 11-piece powerhouse delivers the experience that true Steely Dan fans recognize as authentic passion for the music, skillfully and joyfully recreated. These artists share a deep reverence for the music and musicians of Steely Dan, and are masters in their craft… they truly succeed in playing this music the way that it should be played.

While fans can expect to hear accurate renditions of the studio recordings and solos they know and love, the band also incorporates some of the funkier, re-harmonized arrangements found in Steely Dan’s live performances. Their knack for authentically recreating the band’s catalog, coupled with thrilling moments of improvisation, ensures that each show stands on its own as an exhilarating experience. Their song book currently includes tracks from Aja, Gaucho, The Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic, Can’t Buy A Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, Katy Lied and the FM soundtrack.

Dirty Logic’s all-star cast of characters features members of regional, national and international acts such as: Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, Empire Strikes Brass, Grammy Award Winning Secret Agent 23 Skidoo, The Travers Brothership, The Business, James Brown Dance Party, A Family Affair, Chicago Afrobeat, among others.

“I walked into the venue and by God, I thought I was at a Steely Dan concert! I’m a huge Steely Dan fan! But seeing Dirty Logic for the first time was such an emotional experience for me, they had me in tears!”
– BJ LEIDERMAN, NPR THEME COMPOSER
