“Steely Dan is so interesting because of the combination of great songs, highest-level musicianship and a complete disregard for rock-star pretense and nonsense.

If Tulsa has a Steely Dan equivalent, it would be Pilgrim — a Beau Roberson-driven group armed with elite players clad in beanies, hoodies and faded jeans.”

“During your first Pilgrim experience, you’ll marvel at Roberson’s brilliant lyrics and vocals, Jesse Aycock’s beautiful steel-guitar fills and John Fullbright’s occasional presence on the piano.”
