Bob Seger fans, it’s time to take those old records off the shelf.
On April 9, legendary tribute band Against the Wind: The Ultimate Bob Seger Experience, is heading to North Bay for a concert supporting Make-A-Wish Canada.
For years, Against the Wind has thrilled fans with their gritty "Heartland Rock" performances that capture the energy of Bob Seger's raw, soulful sound. Led by vocalist Ty Wilson, whose authentic portrayal of Seger's raspy growl will leave you spellbound, this all-star band delivers heartfelt renditions of every classic that made Seger a household name.
When it comes to rocking the stage, Ty is no stranger in town. He signed his first record deal at 16 years old, and his second at 22. He has spent years as a journeyman musician, playing bars and small clubs across Canada. From Toronto’s premier music venue The Opera House, to busking on the streets of Victoria B.C., Ty has learnt how to connect with his audience and bandmates.
And now, following a series of sell-out shows on both sides of the border, Against the Wind is ready to take North Bay on a rock’n’roll journey through Seger’s decades-long career.
At the Capitol Centre on April 9, Against the Wind is sure to roll out all the old hits: Seger has been electrifying fans since the late 60s with Top-10 singles like “Old Time Rock and Roll”, “Night Moves”, “Hollywood Nights” and “We’ve Got Tonight”.
His classic album “Against the Wind” even won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a group in 1980.
From high-energy anthems to iconic ballads that serve as the soundtrack to countless memories, Against the Wind's concerts are nothing short of mesmerizing. Whether you're a lifelong fan of Seger and his Silver Bullet Band or brand new to his music, this is a musical journey you won't soon forget.
When you buy a ticket to Against The Wind, you're not just treating yourself to a night of incredible music — you're also supporting a worthy cause.
Against the Wind is proud to partner with Make-A-Wish Canada, an organization dedicated to creating life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Make-A-Wish Canada is on a quest to bring every eligible child's wish to life, because a wish is an integral part of a child's treatment journey. Research shows children who have wishes granted can build the physical and emotional strength they need to fight a critical illness.
Since 1983, Make-A-Wish Canada has granted over 37,000 wishes across the country, over 1,000 last year alone.
Your participation helps replace fear with confidence, sadness with joy, and anxiety with hope for these courageous children.
