REELIN' IN THE YEARS BRINGS THE MUSIC OF STEELY DAN TO THE STRAND CENTER FOR THE ARTS
Acclaimed Steely Dan Tribute Band Plays Lakewood, NJ — Saturday, November 14, 2026
LAKEWOOD, NJ — Any major dude will tell you: there's no substitute for the real thing. This November, Reelin' in the Years, led by renowned drummer Jerry Marotta, brings the full sophistication of Steely Dan's catalog to The Strand Center for the Arts, one of the nation's most celebrated acoustical theaters, for one night only.
On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Woodstock-based ensemble takes the historic Strand stage to deliver the meticulous jazz-rock arrangements that made Steely Dan a studio legend — the deep cuts, the radio staples, and the impossible harmonies, performed live by a band that treats Walter Becker and Donald Fagen's songbook with the precision it demands.
Reelin' in the Years is led by renowned drummer and bandleader Jerry Marotta, best known for his work with Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney, and Hall & Oates. Anchored by decades of touring and recording experience, Marotta fronts a powerhouse group of elite session and touring musicians.
The lineup features dynamic vocalists Joey Eppard(of prog band 3) and Lindsey Skeye, with guitar duties handled by Matt Finck (Randy Brecker). Bassist Jennifer Maidman (Boy George) and keyboardist Sarah Power (Matte Henderson) round out the rhythm section with precision and depth.
Central to that sound is a horn section that gives the night its bite and shimmer: Bill Harris (Lynyrd Skynyrd, Spyro Gyra) on saxophone, Chris Pasin (Buddy Rich) on trumpet, Cliff Lyons (Average White Band) on saxophone, and John Fumasoli (Diana Ross, Tony Bennett) on trombone. From the strut of "Peg" to the slow burn of "Deacon Blues," these are the players who make Steely Dan's charts come alive — the difference between a tribute and the genuine article.
Based in Woodstock, NY, Reelin' in the Years has sold out venues across the Northeast and beyond. Whether performing hits like "Peg," "Reelin' in the Years," or deep cuts from Aja and The Royal Scam, the band captures the spirit, groove, and complexity that fans of Steely Dan crave.
Built in 1922 and designed by famed theater architect Thomas Lamb, The Strand has hosted everyone from George Carlin to Taylor Swift, and its sight lines and acoustics make it the ideal room to hear every note of Steely Dan's intricate writing the way it was meant to be heard.
So fire up the night and don't tell us you're not in the mood. This is a show worth the drive — and the music's gonna last.
