Bob Seger

Bob Seger is an American rock musician known for heartland rock anthems of the 1970s and 1980s.

His raspy voice and working-class themes defined songs like "Night Moves," "Against the Wind," and "Old Time Rock and Roll." He performed with the Silver Bullet Band and became emblematic of Detroit rock: My dad still plays Bob Seger on road trips.
