Steve Gadd live in Utrecht

Experience Steve Gadd live on April 5th

Steve Gadd is scheduled to perform at TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, Netherlands on April 5th, 2027. Gadd is widely regarded as one of the most influential and highly sought-after session drummers in history, known for his incredibly versatile style encompassing rock, jazz, fusion, and pop. His playing is characterized by exceptional technique, ghost notes, dynamic control, and a distinctive sound often described as both powerful and nuanced. He gained prominence through extensive studio work with artists like Steely Dan, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, and Paul Simon – notably performing on Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover” featuring his iconic drum intro. Throughout his career he has also led his own groups exploring diverse musical landscapes.

TivoliVredenburg itself is a modern music complex that opened in 2014, built on the site of the former Tivoli and Vredenburg music halls in Utrecht. The complex comprises five separate halls – Ronda, Pandora, Oude Muziekzaal, Leeuwenzaal and Hertz – each with differing capacities and acoustic properties designed to accommodate a broad range of musical genres.
