Aja Vu to do Steeley Dan

San Jose, Californa - If you can name that tune in three notes and the answer is “Reelin in the Years” by Steeley Dan, then the Tapestry Arts Festival has a show for you.  San Francisco’s Aja Vu faithfully lives the music of Steely Dan and performs it on stage Monday, September 5 at 3 PM.

From "Hey Nineteen" and "Reelin' In The Years" to "Rikki Don't Lose That Number", you can buy a thrill when you hear the tight chunky horns, vocals and solos note for note and phrase for phrase backed up by an unparalleled rhythm section.  The Aja Vu show recreates the combination of rock, jazzy blues and unique storytelling that has made the Steely Dan sound endure throughout pop culture for 30 plus years!

Aja Vu is the proud winner of the KFOX Last Band Standing competition on the Greg Kihn Morning Show and has performed with The Doobie Brothers, Dave Mason, Robben Ford and at the Shoreline.  Catch Aja Vu on stage at the Tapestry Arts Festival, Monday, September 5 in downtown San Jose starting at 3 PM.

Tapestry Arts presents San Jose’s oldest and largest street festival.  Three days of food, fun, art and live music Labor Day Weekend, September 3, 4 & 5.  Each year the Tapestry Arts Festival brings together hundreds of artisans, four live music stages and the Creativity Zone with free hands-on art for children.  In Parkside Hall, next to the Tech , the Design for Living Home and Garden Show is filled with the all that is cutting edge for the home.

Hundreds of community volunteers make it possible for the annual festival to provide core support for Tapestry Arts, a 30 year old community arts organization.  During the year Tapestry provides arts outreach in community centers and arts education programs in local schools.  Outreach programs place artists in residence in community centers, homeless shelters and the Alternative Education Program.

Tapestry Arts is a public benefit organization dedicated to providing the community with quality arts education programs throughout the year.
