Note-for-Note Accuracy: We recreate the sonic architecture of the live Silver Bullet Band and studio sounds using authentic gear and a few modern technologies unavailable in the 70’s, or 80′, or 90’s…… Nothing is missing, it’s just richer and more satisfying.
Professional Synergy: Musicians from both the U.S. and Canada collaborating with a shared commitment to musical excellence. We bring preparation, professionalism, and pride in representing our respective communities—delivering a polished, high-energy performance to honor Bob Seger’s enduring legacy.
Authenticity: We’ve shared the stage with original Silver Bullet Band members Alto Reed and Charlie Martin on four separate occasions—we feel it’s a testament to not just our quality, but our commitment to honoring his music with authenticity. We’ve been selected to open for Average White Band and Loverboy (more Canadians), and entertained over 500,000 Seger fans across many major free outdoor festivals and nearing 100 ticketed concert performances.
The Long Lonesome Highway…..
Our nearly 17-year journey is deeply intertwined with the Metro Detroit music scene. From 1st in Detroit in 2009 until 2026, as Lookin’ Back becomes the first international Bob Seger tribute band, featuring an impressive lineup of musicians from both sides of the beautiful, new, and now symbolic, Gordie Howe bridge.
Validations:
A defining milestone was being selected to perform at the launch of Travelin’ Man: On the Road & Behind the Scenes, the definitive Bob Seger photo journal & biography co-written by:
-
Tom Weschler – Bob Seger’s 11-year Road Manager & Staff Photographer
-
Gary Graff – Renowned music journalist
Performing for the Silver Bullet Band members and Detroit’s top rock radio personalities, though nerve-racking, provided an early and unforgettable validation, inspiration and motivation toward todays excellence. We don’t just play the songs; we honor Bob Seger’s legacy by bringing a fresh voice, highend players, and every ounce of energy to maintain the highest musical integrity his fans deserve. “Would Bob Approve” is the only question we ask ourselves at every rehearsal to build future validations.
What’s Next for Lookin’ Back?
🎉 2026 marks the 50th Anniversary of “Night Moves.”
To celebrate, Lookin’ Back will perform all nine songs from the Night Moves album—in order—at every show in 2026.
This year-long celebration includes major announcements regarding special events, and exclusive performances. Whether you’re a lifelong Bob Seger fan, discovering his music for the first time, or booking a Bob Seger tribute show for your venue, 2026 will be one very special year!

I didn’t know of your performances until I read about the group in the Spinal Column. I look forward to hearing the group.
Next stop…The Detroit Zoo!
We are performing again in your neighborhood. Hope you can come have some fun with us! FYI Lookin’ Back has our 8th Annual Bob Seger Birthday Bash coming May 6th to a nice little place in Commerce Township – if you’re interested. Information here: http://www.neptix.com/events/45743
Saw the item in a local paper about the bands job at the Detroit Zoo, so went with a “girlfrieln” of 30 + and had a great time. Too bad more zoo-bies didn’t stop and enjoy the concert. It was GREAT!
Pat! Some of our best performances have been for very small crowds because we can connect with them more directly. The Zoo really took good care of our audio needs and provided us an OUTSTANDING work environment…both on stage and location. VERY COOL PLACE TO ROCK N ROAR! We figured the weather caused just enough doubt to keep the zoobies home…..but in the end we couldn’t have orderd better weather conditions….overcast, cool, a small breeze made it ideal. Thanks for the kind words and stay in touch on facebook.
Time to call the girlfriend Pat and make plans to see what has become your favorite Seger tribute? FYI Lookin’ Back has our 8th Annual Bob Seger Birthday Bash coming May 6th to a nice little place in Commerce Township – if you’re interested. Information here: http://www.neptix.com/events/45743
Saw the show in Grand Blanc last night. As a long time Seger fan I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed the show.
Luke, it means a lot to us that you took time to share your thoughts about a recent performance. It’s always nice to hear from satisfied Bob Seger fans who appreciate our efforts.

Listened to your show at the Mustang Stampede from our boat at Mackinaw City marina. Thought for sure Seger was performing. Outstanding sound. Took me back to my high school days. Loved it!
Mr. Schantz! THAT my friend is music to OUR ears! Thanks for the kind words that mean so much to us!

Can’t wait to see you when you come to the Michigan Theatre in Jackson. I sang with Skip VanWinkle back in the early 70’s and had the adventure of performing on stage with Ms. Shawn Murphy for 2 weeks before she started touring with Bob Seger. I am sure your show will bring down the house! Thanks for keeping the music alive!
Thanks for the kind words. Shawn IS SPECIAL! Our mission is to keep Bob’s music LIVE & ON STAGE for as long as we shall live. It’s going to be a fun night at the cinema for sure. Bring your friends and neighbors!

You guys were great yesterday, I spoke to you a little yesterday. I have brother who performed with Harry Chapin on tours after college hay days studies @Cleveland Institute of music. I would like to send you a cd of brothers band jazz band, Peter Virckes quartet in St. Paul, Mn. I am the one talked to you about your booking the dinner where we ate, you said you were missing people
Hey Christine, I’m letting all the people that have made a comment on our website in the past about our 8th Annual Bob Seger Birthday Bash coming May 6th to a nice little place in Commerce Township – if you’re interested. I know you enjoyed last year’s party. Hope you can make this one! Information here: http://www.neptix.com/events/45743
If you want some good Bob Seger music, get out and here Lookin’ Back. Todd and group does a good job with Seger songs and they are fun and great group. Rock N Roll Never Forgets.
To Members of looking back. I saw your show at Alpenfest and loved it! I am associated with a historical Society with a 100 year old Playhouse which currently needs a new roof. We were hoping to hold a “raise the roof” fundraising event and think your group would be a perfect fit!
THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS! We’ll help anywhere we can if possible. Feel free to call Todd Stoney at 248-755-6814!
WE TOO! Lets talk! Call Todd Stoney at 248-755-6814
Did you get my email and information?
Would like to return with our Billy Joel & Bob Seger show next summer. http://www.abillyjoeltribute.com
I saw you at Alpenfest and had a great time. I am associated with an organization which is looking for entertainment for fund raising events in Houghton Lake, Can you advise me of the cost of one of your performances? Please give me contact information by e-mail
Cost depends on production requirements…and that depends on how many people a venue/charity might expect. PA for a concert for 100 will not work for a concert of 1000 or more. We can and would prefer to take care of ALL production in house. Although we got lucky with a GREAT front of house audio guy at AlpenFest, we really suffered in West Branch on Friday. So, we like to take the guess-work out of this as much as possible. Our rates and equipment are ALWAYS going to be better than what you can get for PA services, and we like to keep it that way. Lets talk ANYTIME! Todd Stoney 248-755-6814
OH my gosh! I also saw your performance at Alpenfest and it was wonderful.
Having been a Seger fan since he was Bob Seger and the Last Herd so many years ago and seeing him in concert several times I can say you guys do him proud. Can’t wait to see you guys in concert again.
HOW KIND! PROUDLY WE PLAY SEGER, we can only hope he would find us pleasing to listen too. We can only measure ourselves against the original. We’ll always fall a bit short, but we’ll always be dangerously close! See you in Frankenmuth this September?
Wondering if you’re playing Frankenmuth Auto Fest this weekend?
Sorry, due to internal personnel instability and flat out stupidity, I was forced to cancel our Frankenmuth performance in order to protect and maintain Lookin’ Back’s brand integrity, and protect our client and audience from what could have been a less than satisfactory performance. Client satisfaction always come first. We hope to return next year. The band has retooled for the last two shows of the year in Fenton (AppleFest), and Adrian (Art-A-Licious). Hope you can come see us at either location. I am certain you’ll be completely satisfied with our new singer. Check our website later today for more information about our new singer!

Glad to see the site back up again. Missed you for a while there. Good job with the history of the group. The members may change, but I feel the quality won’t. Nicely done Todd.
THANKS PAT! Being the quality control guy here you have my promise we will always have a continuous improvement philosophy in this band and like a fine wine will improve over time. See you someplace and sometime where the weather is warm.
You ROCK!! Have always had a great time at your shows!! Love Ya!!☺
Saw these guys in Ferndale last Summer.
During the Dream Cruise. They blew us away.
99% as good as the original.
Bob Seger would be proud.
We will make every effort to attend this.
I have been trying to get to see you guys for two years. I will make it hopefully this year and definitely to Bob Seger’s birthday bash in 2018!!
