The Dukes of September – July 10th – The Paramount Theatre

Estimated read time 5 min read

The Dukes of September are a super-group that features Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, and Boz Scaggs. This is a band, not just a trio of stars and back line support, and that cohesiveness was evident in their performance last week. As they played everyone present realized how lucky they were to be in the beautiful confines of the Paramount. Though the show flirted with nostalgia, The Dukes of September delivered entertainment in its purest form.

Levon Helm’s Birthday Ramble – May 26th – The Barn, Woodstock
