Bob Seger has released a new single named 'Detroit Made,' taking another step closer to releasing his first album of all-new material since 2006's 'Face the Promise.'
In honor of Bob Seger's 69th birthday, which just so happens to be today, I figured it was time to revive Matt's True Rock 'N' Roll Tales and tell you about the time I hung out with Silver Bullet Band saxophonist Alto Reed.
Bob Seger and Robert Plant are two of the 23 artists who make up the playlist of the classic rock station found in the 'Grand Theft Auto V' video game. And there's probably a lot of people listening to those songs right now, since the game earned over $800 million in sales on its Sept. 17 release day, the most successful first-day figure in history.
Evie Branan, the 79 year old Michigan woman whose first words after emerging from a coma that lasted five years were, "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert," got her wish and more last night (April 11) when she met the rock legend backstage.
Flint, Michigan native Evie Branan, 79, suddenly awoke from a 5-year coma on May 7, 2011, and her first uttered words were, "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert." It's been two years since and Evie is finally getting her chance to attend that concert.
There he is, on the road again. Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band are off and running on their 2013 US tour. The tour got off to a good start last night (Feb. 27) in Toledo, Ohio. Seger and band pulled out hit after hit, with the usual suspects like 'Night Moves' and 'Turn The Page' as well as deeper catalog numbers like 'Beautiful Loser' and 'Ramblin' Gamblin' Man' gracing the two-hour show.
