OPTIONAL BILLY JOEL & BOB SEGER TRIBUTE BAND:

Two World-Class Tribute Experiences | One Exceptional Roster of Musicians

Great Lakes' Premier Billy Joel Tribute Band

Since 2021, Allentown has delivered one of the most authentic Billy Joel concert experiences across the Great Lakes Region. This six-piece powerhouse is meticulously detail-oriented, masterfully recreating Billy Joel's iconic sound with note-for-note accuracy and the electrifying energy of his legendary live performances.



Authentic Concert Experience: From studio perfection to creative song endings and transitions, Allentown captures the full spectrum of Billy Joel's artistry. Performances include little-known facts about song anniversaries, Billy's career milestones, and current news—delivering a sophisticated stage production that engages and educates audiences.

World-Class Musicianship: Led by acclaimed pianist Mark Calcott, whose prestigious credits include Carnegie Hall and Toronto's Massey Hall. Mark's mastery of Billy's repertoire elevates every performance, inspiring his five bandmates to match his intensity and showmanship.

Comprehensive Song Selection: From "Allentown" to "New York State of Mind," "Movin' Out" to "Zanzibar," Allentown's extensive setlist features chart-topping hits and fan-favorite deep tracks. With over 2.5 hours of material, performances can be tailored to any event—from intimate dinner settings to full-scale concert recreations.

Professional Production Value: With over 100 years of combined stage experience, Allentown delivers consistently outstanding performances. Professional-grade sound and lighting production available when budgets and planning allow.

LOOKIN' BACK – Michigan's Pure Bob Seger Tribute Experience

Since 2009, Lookin' Back has stood as Detroit's first Bob Seger tribute band. Today, this internationally recognized 7-piece powerhouse unites major-league musicians from Southeast Michigan and Greater Windsor, Ontario, delivering the best Silver Bullet Band experience possible in Bob Seger's home market.

Why Entertainment Buyers Choose Lookin' Back:

A Higher Tribute Standard: No wigs, no costumes—just musical integrity and professional refinement. Lookin' Back honors Bob Seger with authentic respect for the music and the man.

Note-for-Note Accuracy: Recreating the sonic architecture of the live Silver Bullet Band and studio recordings using authentic gear and select modern technologies Bob himself wished he had in the '70s, '80s, and '90s.

Validated Authenticity: Lookin' Back has shared the stage with original Silver Bullet Band members Alto Reed and Charlie Martin on four occasions. Selected to open for Average White Band and Loverboy, the band has entertained over 500,000 fans across major outdoor festivals and nearly 100 ticketed concert performances.

Milestone Moments: Performed at the launch of Travelin' Man: On the Road & Behind the Scenes, the definitive Bob Seger biography co-written by Tom Weschler (Bob Seger's 11-year Road Manager & Staff Photographer) and renowned music journalist Gary Graff.

2026 Celebration: Commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Night Moves, Lookin' Back will perform all nine songs from the album—in order—at every show in 2026, creating a year-long celebration of one of rock's most iconic albums.
