Making his first appearance is the legendary guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, who contributed to the founding of Steely Dan, has been a key member of the Grammy-winning Doobie Brothers, and is a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

He joined Ultimate Spinach in 1968, and after leaving, worked as a session guitarist in Boston. It was during this period that he met Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, and through that connection joined Steely Dan in 1972. After leaving Steely Dan, he built a brilliant career, including joining the Doobie Brothers, with whom he had deepened his friendship after previously appearing as a guest. Since then, as a session musician, he has contributed to the creation of many classic albums, and this June it was decided that he would release his career’s first solo album, Speed of Heat, featuring original songs co-written with guitarist CJ Vanston and including Steely Dan covers. Don’t miss this breathtaking performance by a legend who has witnessed countless moments in music history.
