Mini bio

How it started.

Raised in Ann Arbor, Bob learned ukulele from his father and fronted high-school bands including the Decibels and the Town Criers. “East Side Story” became a local hit in 1966; “Ramblin’ Gamblin’ Man” later brought national attention.

Finding his audience.

He formed the Silver Bullet Band in 1974. The live energy of Live Bullet and the storytelling of Night Moves made 1976 his breakthrough year. Songs such as “Turn the Page,” “Hollywood Nights” and “Like a Rock” became lasting parts of his catalog.

Songs that travel.

Metallica, Tina Turner, Kenny Rogers and Sheena Easton are among the artists who have recorded his songs. His work earned induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2012.

Opening the archive.

In 2026, Face the Promise returned for its 20th anniversary with four bonus tracks and its first vinyl edition. The album includes duets with Patty Loveless and Kid Rock.
