Dirty Logic exists for one reason: to bring the music of Steely Dan to life the way it deserves to be heard.
This is an 11-piece band built from some of the most accomplished musicians in the Southeast — players who don't just know this music, they love it. That distinction matters. The sophistication of the Steely Dan songbook demands more than technical ability. Every member of Dirty Logic has that — not just the ability, but the genuine love for the music.
Every show is rooted in faithfulness to the studio recordings — the arrangements, the solos, the harmonic complexity that made Fagen and Becker's work so enduring. But Dirty Logic also draws from Steely Dan's live performances, incorporating live arrangements that many audiences haven't heard before — a reminder of just how adventurous and endlessly creative Steely Dan remained as performers. The result is a show that feels both familiar and alive — honoring the recordings while breathing something fresh into every performance.
Their setlist draws deep from the catalog: Aja, Gaucho, The Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic, Can't Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy, Katy Lied, and the FM soundtrack.
We'd love for you to catch us live. Check our show dates and come experience the music in person — we look forward to seeing you there.
