With a span of 6 decades and selling over 75 million records, Bob Seger is one of the world's best selling Rock and Roll artists of all time. His first studio album, Ramblin' Gamblin' Man, was soon followed up by the Detroit rocker's acclaimed 1973 Live Bullet album. He would go on to achieve a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves in 1976.
Silver Bullet STL will give you all the classic Bob Seger hits from Turn the Page, Hollywood Nights and Against the Wind to Mainstreet, Like a Rock and more! This is why Silver Bullet STL has become the #1 Bob Seger Tribute!
Did you know that Bob Seger co-wrote the Eagles number-one hit song Heartache Tonight? Bob and the late Glenn Frey had a long collaborative friendship, Glenn even provided guitar and backing vocals on Bob's first hit Ramblin' Gamblin' Man. Later Glenn wrote Heartache Tonight for the Eagles but was stumped for a chorus. He called Bob and sang it to him on the phone, Seger just came right in with the chorus line. This is why Bob Seger is in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame!

The Band
Steve Tinnon
Lead singer, guitar
“As far back as I can remember I was in awe watching my family members rehearse in our home. It was now my turn to carry on that tradition. Eventually learning to play the bass guitar, I was off and running! My first gig was with a house band, but after 5 years it was time to move on and I started working with “The Undecided”. The band took off, and we were playing original material when we could and fronting for the likes of “Foghat”, "Firefall", “Motely Crue”, “Kansas”, "BTO", "Great White", "Head East", "Brewer & Shipley" and others. After a period of time I became wary of my future again. My manager Thom Swain and I started kicking around the idea putting together a tribute to “Bob Seger”. I had my doubts at first, but Thom secured a backing group of stellar players and now the rest is history."
The moral of the story?
“Can't never did”
