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.
