Rock N’ Roll Never Forgets!
In the mid-70s through the 90s, you couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing a massive hit from Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band. Universally acknowledged by fans and musicians as one of the defining voices of American music, Seger exemplifies the classic in classic rock.
From Turn The Page, Night Moves, Hollywood Nights, Rock And Roll Never Forgets to Old Time Rock and Roll, voted in 2001 as a song of the century, only scratches the surface of his vivid portraits of Heartland rock. Seger’s live shows with the Silver Bullet Band sold out arenas across the country and sold 51 million records.
Soundtracks of a Generation’s Bob Seger Tribute Band, featuring Whalen as the Rock icon Bob Seger, recreates the energy and excitement of Michigan’s favorite son. It’s an honor to bring the music of the Grammy-winning 2004 inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to our audiences!
