Lookin'Back | Testimonials

"Checked out the Lookin' Back band - a Bob Seger Tribute band - last night at Mr B's Roadhouse in Clarkston. They blew me away! WOW they are good. Non-stop, rockin', great choice of songs, best versions of them. A "Must See" band."

"I think Bob Seger would be proud."
Mitch Albom - The Mitch Albom Show, WJR 760 AM, Detroit, Michigan

"You guys are great!"
Doug Podell - Director of Rock Programming, WRIF-FM & WCSX-FM, Detroit, Michigan

"I admit I was reticent when Doug suggested we have a 'tribute band' play at our release party. At the same time I did like your band's name. When you guys started playin', my misgivings disappeared. And as I watched from our signing table the crowd seemed to agree... you guys got it right and it became fun to listen... that's from one of the people (me) behind the music, but with an opinion borne of 'original experience.'"

"I want to thank all of you for helping us with this fabulous event ... well done!"
Tom Weschler - Bob Seger's road manager and photographer, and co-author of Travelin' Man

"Enjoyed it! It's good to hear the old songs".
Drew Abbott - Silver Bullet Band guitarist. Quote from Detroit News article about
Travelin' Man book release party at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak, Michigan

"Lookin' Back is as authentic and hot as the real McCoy. I am sure that Seger would be proud!"
Steve Allen - VP of the Detroit Blues Society

"You guys rocked the house at this year's Sparks in the Park Fireworks Festival! Lookin' Back's rendition of 'Live Bullet Lives Again' brought back great memories! As the musical entertainment coordinator, I dare say that you were the BEST headline band that Sparks has ever had! I will be at your next performance - that is for sure! AMAZING."
Lindy O'Brien - Music and Entertainment Coordinator of Sparks In the Park and Quake On The Lake

"I saw a lot of Tribal members there just moving in their seats, like it was bringing back memories. Thank you and the rest of the band for coming out this far."
Lisa Chippewa - Lighting Director/Production Manager Little River Casino, Manistee, MI

"I thought they (Lookin' Back) were very good--nice, tight covers and good vocals all around. Lonnie doesn't sound like Seger, per se, but the band has the right sound. They were perfect for the event! Thanks again, Jane"
Jane Hoehner - Director, Wayne State University Press, Detroit, Michigan

"When I first seen a rehearsal I wanted very much to be involved with this class act in some way. With Lookin' Back's debut I was very glad and proud I did. I had Bo Diddley and I've Been Workin' stuck in my head for days.

This band rocks!"
John Gnotek - Lookin' Back's Web designer and photo taker, Highland, Michigan

"Wow! We live in Canton and saw your show last night at Cherry Hill Village Theatre. You guys are outstanding... your lead singer was outstanding, sounding very much like Seger and the music produced by your musical instruments was unbelievable!!! Some of the best we have ever heard. Great show..."
Jim & Donna Obirne, Canton, Michigan

"I was there for your debut last Saturday. It was GREAT! I didn't know what to expect. Never had heard of New York New York. Drove from Downriver just to see the show. I'm so glad we did. We really enjoyed the night. We're looking forward to seeing you guys again. Please try and find a place Downriver. A lot more people would come to see you. We will go see you where ever you are playing.

One more thing, Lonnie your singing is awesome, but you need to move a little more. Bob still has the moves. And you're a lot younger. Cmon, move that booty!!! Thanks again for a great night. Looking forward to another one real soon."

"Greeeeeeeeeeeat job Saturday night at 59 West! I was pumped! :)"
Darlene Frost, Highland, Michigan

"Saw you at 59 West. You guys were good! We are Lookin Back fans.. we'll come see you guys whenever we can!"
Kathi Lanzetta Curtis, Highland, Michigan

"This HUGE (at heart) Seger fan LOVES Lookin' Back! Seger's music is at the core of my youth, my young adult years, and now my midlife years. So naturally a band that tributes the man gets my attention. I discovered Lookin' Back at the Bob Seger Book Signing Party at Memphis Smoke in Royal Oak. The positive energy of the band members made for a very fun night. I will not hesitate to attend another event! They were great! Let It Rock!"
Karen Appling, A Southeast Michigan Rocker

"They are a 'tribute' band, not impersonators, which I was rather thankful for. They don't try to 'be' Seger, but do a phenomenal job with the music."
Darlene, a blogger

"Just wanted to say that last night was the first time we've heard your band play. You guys are amazing. The sax guy.. WOW... he sure can play it well!!!! We wish you guys the best of luck!"
Jacqueline Adams

"Had another great evening with you guys. You have really come along way since the first show. I thought you were good then, your getting better ever time. Way to go!"
