DAVE KOZ

Building on the massive success of their Summer Horns projects, Dave Koz and Friends 
are returning to the road with the brass-fueled, feel-good tour of the summer. Joining 
Grammy-nominated saxophonist Dave Koz will be Gerald Albright (saxophone), Rick 
Braun (trumpet), Kenny Lattimore (vocals), Aubrey Logan (trombone and vocals) and 
Adam Hawley (guitarist) at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre at Freedom Hill starting at 7:30 
p.m. Tickets start at $49. Koz, who calls himself a “nice Jewish jazz guy,” has served as 
global ambassador for the Starlight Children’
s Foundation for 20 years and founded KOZ 
Wines in 2009 as another avenue to support the foundation. He donates all his proceeds 
from KOZ Wines to the organization and, with help from his fans, has raised more than 
$1 million. Purchase tickets at 313Presents.com.

STEELY DAN

American rock band Steely Dan will bring 
its ’
70s hits such as “Reelin’
 in the Years,” 
“Rikki Don’
t Lose That Number,” “F.M.,” 
“Peg,” “Hey Nineteen” and “Deacon Blues” 
to Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on the 
campus of Oakland University at 7:30 p.m. 
Although original co-founder Walter Becker 
died in 2017, Jewish co-founder, lead sing-
er and keyboardist Donald Fagen con-
tinues to lead the band, although he told 
Rolling Stone that if it were up to him, he 
would call it “Donald Fagen and the Steely 
Dan Band.” Fun fact: Prior to starting Steely 
Dan, Becker and Fagen were in a band 
called the Leather Canaries with another 
guy named Cornelius Chase, who left the 
band soon after for a career in comedy. You 
might know Cornelius better by his stage 
name, Chevy Chase. Tickets start at $35 
and can be purchased at 313Presents.com.

ties in her quilts. Visitors to her exhibit will
