Second Arrangement brings Steely Dan's timeless sound world to Bonn
On Thursday, April 29, 2027, the Harmonie in Bonn will transform into a meeting point for groovy rock music, jazzy sophistication, and high-quality songwriting. Second Arrangement presents the music of Steely Dan, Donald Fagen, and Walter Becker with a ten-member lineup including a brass section. The concert starts at 8:00 PM, with doors opening at 7:00 PM.
Groove, Jazz, and Pop in an Authentic Live Atmosphere
Second Arrangement is dedicated to the distinctive sound of Steely Dan: precisely arranged rhythms, elegant guitar lines, prominent brass, and a driving groove come together to create a unique event experience. The band interprets the music of their influences from the early 1970s to the turn of the millennium and combines well-known studio productions with the corresponding live versions.
A Ten-Member Band from the Cologne-Bonn Music Scene
The ensemble was founded in 2019 by Helmuth Both on keyboards initially as an instrumental project. Since 2021, André Karg has supplemented the formation as the lead vocalist. The rhythm section includes Peter Dahm on drums, Igor Selsek on bass and backing vocals, and Thomas Lenkeit and Alex Schmitz on guitars. Wibke Berlin takes on additional backing vocals. The brass section consists of Dave Doerr on trumpet, Uli Wild on saxophone, and Peter Viltz on trombone.
Famous Songs and a Special Lost Track
The concert program includes Do It Again, Pretzel Logic, Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, Black Friday, Kid Charlemagne, Peg, Josie, Deacon Blues, Time Out of Mind, and Cousin Dupree among others. A special rarity is the titular Steely Dan song Second Arrangement, which was never officially released on a recording and later became known through restored cassette recordings.
An Evening Concert for Steely Dan Fans and Music Lovers
The event planning targets an audience that appreciates intricate arrangements, demanding live music, and a focused concert atmosphere. At the Harmonie, musical precision and joy of playing meet the immediate audience mood of a live club. The result is an evening concert blending rock, jazz, and pop with high recognition value.
Second Arrangement promises an intense tribute concert featuring distinctive melodies, multi-part vocal harmonies, and a powerful brass section. Anyone wishing to experience Steely Dan's musical world live should secure their spot at the Harmonie Bonn.
