Doobie Dan at Maldon Town Hall: Saturday 22 October, from 7.30pm until 10.15pm

Featuring hit after hit, this band draws from the expansive catalogues of Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers - from the gritty early 70s power of Reelin' in the Years, Listen to the Music, Long Train Runnin' and Do It Again, all the way to the slick and sophisticated grooves of Peg, Minute by Minute, Kid Charlemagne, Hey Nineteen and What a Fool Believes

Doobie Dan is dedicated to authentically reproducing these sensational sounds, in a show that's non-stop entertainment from start to finish.

Revel the night away to some of the most iconic music of the '70s and beyond, a magical experience that will have you singing and dancing along to all your favourites!
