2026 City Lights Stars: Stanley Dan- June 12th

Stanley Dan brings the smooth sophistication of Steely Dan and classic soul to Burritt on the Mountain this June as part of the venue's beloved 33rd season of City Lights & Stars concerts. This nine-member tribute band doesn't just recreate Steely Dan's jazz-rock classics — they also cover soul legends like Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Al Green, and Amy Winehouse. With two talented lead vocalists backed by dynamic horns and a tight rhythm section, the group delivers a polished show that appeals to families who appreciate good music across generations. The mountaintop setting makes this a memorable evening out, whether you're introducing teens to classic tunes or simply enjoying a night under the stars. Gates open at 6:00 pm on June 12th, with the concert starting at 7:00 pm. General admission tickets range from $25 to $60 and can be purchased online beginning April 1st at 10 am (members get early access March 15th). Bring your own chairs and blankets for lawn seating, and pack a picnic if you'd like — though food trucks will be on site, and beer and wine are available for purchase. For a more relaxed experience, consider the Concert Dinner with a View option for $30 per person, which includes a BBQ buffet served at 6:00 pm at a reserved table with Huntsville's best sunset view. The concert moves to the covered Bendickson Family Pavilion if the 3:00 pm weather forecast predicts rain, so the show goes on in nearly all conditions. Online ticket sales end at 4:00 pm the day of the concert, and note that outside alcohol isn't permitted. This is an all-ages event that works well for families with older children and teens who can sit through a full concert, though the laid-back vibe means younger kids who can handle the later hour are welcome too.
