The group consists of an eight-piece band, lead singer and three female backup singers in the band. The show will play through five decades of Seger jams such as “Night Moves”, “Roll Me Away” and the Grammy Award-winning hit “Against The Wind.”
The Toronto-based tribute band’s “Heartland Rock” performance guarantees an authentic vocal portrayal of Seger-Rock.
“(The audience) is going to get a very high-calibre representation of Bob Seger’s music,” said Jeffrey Dean Goldstein, Against the Wind’s drummer. “It’s energetic, it’s tight, it’s powerful. The show is very well-paced.“
He says Against the Wind emulates the same Seger-style rock performance Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet band, a group Seger formed in 1974, would give the crowd.
“It’s going to be a feel-good type of experience because when people hear this music they think back to their youth,” explained Goldstein. “There’s so many things that people did in life to this music, and (the show) brings back these memories.”
For the younger crowd, Goldstein assures the calibre of the high-energy show will entertain them.
“People will be up in the aisles dancing, like they do at every show, and singing along. That’s what we encourage,” he said.
