Join us on Bob Seger Day for a special closing event and auction at the Detroit Historical Museum as we celebrate the final day of Travelin’ Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger, an incredible exhibition featuring 36 photographs of Bob Seger taken by legendary rock 'n' roll photographer Tom Weschler.
As the exhibition comes to an end, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to bid on the framed photographs that have hung in the Detroit Historical Museum for the past year. Each piece will be hand-signed by Tom Weschler that evening and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, making this a rare chance to own a piece of music history. Funds raised during the auction will benefit Tom Weschler, honoring his legacy and contributions to rock photography, and the Detroit Historical Society.
The closing event will also feature a fascinating stageside chat with Tom Weschler and radio veterans Steve Kostan, Scott Randall and Mark Pasman, as well as journalist Gary Graff, who co-authored the book Travelin’ Man: On the Road and Behind the Scenes with Bob Seger.
Guests can enjoy delicious food provided by Oak House Deli, and a cash bar will be available, with each ticket including one complimentary drink.
This promises to be an unforgettable evening of music, photography, and storytelling, AND - you can take home a piece of rock 'n' roll history!
