Lookin’ Back – Tribute to Bob Seger – 7:30P Seating

Lookin’ Back “LITE” is a forward-looking project comprised of four class musicians united in our effort to keep the music of Bob Seger performed at its highest level for lifelong, and new fans who identify with the man’s poetry, unrivaled energy, and vast catalog of time-tested hits bridging five decades.

While tribute bands typically paid homage to the usual rock-n-roll superstars about 12 years ago when we started, the music of Bob Seger was overlooked in this country, but particularly in S.E. Michigan, until LOOKIN’ BACK.  Since then we’ve become one of the most popular Bob Seger tribute brands in the nation.  (Fall 2018)

Since the band’s sellout debut August 29, 2009, Lookin’ Back has entertained over 300,000 fans, headlined all but four of our 199 shows, opened for Loverboy & Average White Band, and SOLD OUT 45 of 57 ticketed events!

The band’s highlights are numerous. Some worth mentioning include: performances with original Silver Bullet Band members Alto Reed & Charlie Martin on four separate occasions in 2011/12. Lookin’ Back entertained 11,000+ Detroit Pistons fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills (Bob Seger Appreciation Night); saw 100,000 at Howell’s Balloon Festival; rocked 7,000 heard “Live Bullet Lives Again” at Pride In Saginaw; Monroe St. Mary’s Park 2019 Series saw 5800; 5000 (a record) at 51st Annual National Blueberry Festival in South Haven; on June 15, 2017, a record attendance of 5000 swarmed Milford’s AMPhitheater, and the following year we eclipsed our own by 500 on June 14.  More recently, the Swartz Creek Performing Arts Center outdoor amphitheater attracted 1500 fans/27% of all city residents!

THE LOVE FOR BOB SEGER MUSIC IS PALPABLE!

The love for Bob Seger is very strong and was most evident as soon as Lookin’ Back hit the Metro-Detroit music scene.  In fact, in 2010 Lookin’ Back was asked to perform at a private party in Royal Oak to help launch a book entitled Travelin’ Man by Tom Weschler and Gary Graff.  Their coffee table photo book shared many stories about life on the road with Bob Seger and Co.

Every year Lookin’ Back celebrates Mr. Seger’s birthday, and to this date is the only  Bob Seger tribute doing this.
