The Expanding Man, A Steely Dan Tribute

The Expanding Man is a powerhouse tribute to Steely Dan featuring the sensational vocals of Steve Memmolo, known for his electrifying performances as a finalist on NBC’s The Voice. Adding to the mix is the masterful guitar work of blues-rock virtuoso Jon Zeeman, whose credits include collaborations with music icons like Susan Tedeschi, Butch Trucks, and other members of The Allman Brothers. On keys, the wild and witty Peter Primamore—a multi-award-winning TV composer—leads the charge with his captivating piano prowess.

Beyond faithfully reproducing Becker & Fagen classics, The Expanding Man transforms each performance into a realm of musical exploration. incorporating original compositions that echo the complex harmonies and mysterious lyrics for which Steely Dan is known.

With spectacular improvisational prowess, The Expanding Man uses Steely Dan’s repertoire as a launchpad for electrifying and unconventional jams. The result? A captivating fusion of respect and innovation that leaves audiences spellbound.

Here’s what past guests have to say:

“My 30-year-old daughter and I went to this show and were both pleasantly surprised at how good they were. She loved that the lead singer had been a contestant on The Voice, and I’ve always been a fan of Steely Dan. We’d give it a 9 out of 10—the lead singer sounded so much like the original, and the band was incredibly talented (though I especially loved the sax player). If they return to the Athens, we would absolutely get tickets again. Thank you for bringing them—we hope they come back.” — Kyle F.

“10!!!” — James L.

“Expanding Man was awesome. Amazing individual band members and great solos. Thank you.” — Brian C.

“10 for sure.” — David R.

“The Expanding Man was excellent. They sounded exactly like the original. Please consider bringing them back again and again.” — Robert H.

“Great show. I saw them earlier this year in Key West and was impressed there as well. The Athens is a wonderful venue—comfortable seating and very well run. I’ll definitely attend more shows here.” — Chris P.
