Slinky Thing

"There are Steely Dan tribute bands, and then there's Slinky Thing. They go deep into the Steely Dan and Donald Fagen catalogs to play songs rarely attempted by typical SD 'tribute' bands… as well as the expected 'best of' tunes like 'Aja' and 'Peg'… honoring original arrangements and building from there with extended solos and grooves. A must see/hear."
Tom Manche, songwriter.com
"I LOVE these guys. Great players, great tunes, and fun!"
Amy Foster Entertainment Director, Hornblower Dinner Cruises
"You guys really rocked the Millenium Tower… thanks for being so professional and entertaining! We all had a great time."
Sylvie Rivera Lead Concierge Club Level, La Vie Event Planner, Millenium Tower
"Slinky Thing's debut gig was one of the best nights we've ever had at The Back Room; they sold out all available standing room and had people dancing outside the club. They blew the roof off and we're Looking forward to their return!"
Sam Rudin, The Back Room

SLINKY THING REEL

A quick sample of an evening of Steely Dan w/ Slinky Thing…

The Aja Outro

Making the Aja outro our own… unexpected, and unexpectedly lovely.

Way back when, our first time all the way through... love the guitars!

First tune of the night, from an old practice… smokin'!

Had To Cry Today

A request from an older show… Bill follows Steve's guitar solo on this Blind Faith song with a psychedelic sax solo; the only thing missing is the light show.
