Steely Dan will once again hit the road this summer for a series of theater dates and small shed shows. Walter Becker and Donald Fagen hit the road for the first time in almost a decade in 2000 and have toured sporadically ever since. The group’s latest outing has been dubbed the Think Fast, Steely Dan Summer Tour 2009 and will make stops in several East Coast cities before coming to a close at Canada’s Ottawa Jazz Festival on July 5. In addition to a variety of Steely Dan hits, the group is expected to touch upon Fagen's Nightfly Trilogy and Becker's upcoming solo album, Circus Money, which will hit stores on June 10. Becker and Fagen are said to have personally handpicked the opening acts for their Think Fast tour, including rising jazz star Sam Yahel and his Organ Trio, who will open the first leg of Steely Dan’s journey. As of press time, the group will hit the road on June 8 at Ft. Lauderdale, FL’s Hard Rock Café, before making stops in Clearwater, FL (6/9), Alpharetta, GA (6/11), New York (6/13-14, 17), Boston (6/23), Wallingford, CT (6/25), Atlantic City (6/27), Camden, NJ (6/28), Montreal (7/1-2), Rama Rama (7/3) and Ottawa, ON (7/5). Several additional dates and opening acts will be confirmed in the coming weeks.
