Gorton CenterThe Brooklyn Charmers are the best Steely Dan tribute in the world….PERIOD. Anchored by the musical brilliance of each member, they will take you on a journey back to the golden age of Steely Dan. The band is led by singer and pianist, Colin Peterik, son of the legendary Jim Peterik. With a unique blend of authenticity and fresh perspective, The Brooklyn Charmers revives the intricate rhythms, smooth melodies, and sophisticated grooves that defined Steely Dan’s iconic sound.
Colin Peterik, an accomplished musician and producer in his own right, brings his deep-rooted passion for music and his rich lineage to the forefront of this project. As the son of Jim Peterik (Survivor, 38 Special, and The Ides of March) Colin has inherited and pursued a musical legacy that spans decades and genres. His upbringing in a household steeped in rock and pop history has profoundly influenced his approach to performing and interpreting music. The Brooklyn Charmers are filled with great songwriters, musicians, and producers, but they have chosen to come together in this particular project to study The Dan and to carry on their legacy.
The Brooklyn Charmers are known for their meticulous attention to detail, recreating the lush harmonies and complex arrangements that made Steely Dan’s records legendary. From the sultry horn parts to the jazzy guitar solos, the band delivers a concert experience that captures the essence of classic hits like “Reelin’ in the Years,” “Rikki Don’t Lose That Number,” and “Do It Again.” Their live shows are a celebration of Steely Dan’s unique sound, blending nostalgia with innovation in every note.
