Detroit’s FIRST & Michigan’s TOP Bob Seger Tribute
A LEGENDARY VOICE FOR A LEGENDARY TRIBUTE
LOOKIN’ BACK IS ON A YEARLONG MANHUNT SEARCHING FOR MICHIGAN’S NEXT ROCK N ROLL VOCAL POWERHOUSE!
After 16 incredible years of bringing Bob Seger’s timeless classics to life across Michigan, Lookin’ Back is embarking on our most important journey yet – finding the extraordinary voice who will join us into our next and most exciting chapter.
THE SEARCH BEGAN MAY 9!
Our search officially launched at our annual Bob Seger & Billy Joel Birthday Bash, this year at the historic Michigan Theatre of Jackson, again. This night was unforgettable indeed as our special celebrity guest vocalist PAULA MICHELLE (Ray Charles, Yanni, & Sheena Easton) took our opening slot and delivered 5 Bob Seger songs like never before, and made this surprise announcement kicking off our search most formally.
2025: THE YEAR OF TRANSITION
We’re dedicating 2025 to finding the perfect vocal talent to front Lookin’ Back in 2026, and resume a full schedule starting at our Annual Bob Seger & Billy Joel Birthday Bash in 2026, also at the Michigan Theatre of Jackson!
SPECIAL 2025 PERFORMANCES
Throughout this year, we hope you’ll be able to catch Lookin’ Back at select appearances alongside our identical twin tribute band, Allentown. These shows will be sparse but will exciting hearing special guest Bob Seger singers as a very brief opening act before full 90-minute Billy Joel music concerts.

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.

It was a special night for EVERYONE Larry and thank you for being there! We hope you can make it to our 5th Annual Bob Seger Birthday Bash May 10 in Commerce Township. See the Events page to learn more about our most important/fun-filled dinner concert this YEAR!
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?
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!!
