The Claudettes

Saturday, November 7, 2026 - 7:00 PM EST

Six albums into their lauded career, The Claudettes continue to put a fascinating spin on American roots music with their 2026 Pravda Records album GARAGE GLAMOUR. Blues and R&B are laced with punk spirit and film-noir moods to create the band's singular glitzy-yet-gritty sound. The Claudettes have earned worldwide acclaim with their recordings and concerts full of heart, musicianship and theatrical flair. Force-of-nature vocalist Rachel Williams (who dominates the stage like a glam-rock rebirth of Annie Lennox) and renowned pianist/songwriter Johnny Iguana join the mighty rhythm section of Zach Verdoorn (bass, guitar, vocals) and Liz Ele (drums). Outside The Claudettes, Iguana has toured with Junior Wells and Otis Rush, played on many Grammy-nominated albums and recorded with Buddy Guy, Derek Trucks, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Johnny Winter and more. Johnny is also composer of the score for the Emmy-winning smash FX/Hulu series "The Bear" and has released two solo albums on iconic blues/jazz label Delmark Records.

PRESS QUOTES:

“Chicago's original recipe band…The Claudettes sonic playing field is the blues and everything after, all tastefully and artfully blended together….Perhaps the band’s greatest super power: songwriting.”—NPR Music

“A skewed cabaret band of blues, jazz and rockabilly…a sensibility that feels equal parts James Dean and David

Lynch.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune

“Holy Mackerel…I hear so many levels of what I consider amazing creativity…I hear touches of Jerry Lee Lewis at his most manic…of cinema…of multiple genres wrapping around one another…These guys are the B-movies

of the music world—maybe not understood now, but in the future, the kings and queens of the universe!”

—Frank Gutch Jr., No Depression

The Claudettes Go Out! shows the band’s mastery of every era of American music, from the roots of the blues to today’s modern pop….the Claudettes pen standards for a new generation.—J. Poet, Rock & Roll Globe

Night Moves in Allentown A Billy Joel & Bob Seger Tribute

Saturday, November 14, 2026 - 7:00 PM EST

On October 22, 1976, Bob Seger released his Night Moves album. A few weeks later came its first single, and by February, Bob Seger's most important album reached #4 on Billboard's Hot 100—behind #1 Rod Stewart, #2 Andy Gibb, and #3 The Emotions. Lookin' Back, Detroit's first and Michigan's best Bob Seger tribute band, will bring that album to life—the entire album, in order—on one of Michigan's most beautiful historic stages.


Michigan Theatre of Jackson (MTJ), Allentown, Lookin' Back, and Tributesville proudly present this unique classic rock double feature. Two of Michigan's most respected tribute acts would love to share this special, legendary night with YOU in Jackson—again!


Patrons, look forward to lookin' back at Night Moves with the group's 2026 singer, Dave Fogerty, delivering the Bob Seger lyrics. Dave is backed by the full Allentown band—aka "Dave's Silver Bullet Band"—currently one of the strongest acts on the Michigan tribute scene.


The same album that delivered hits like "Night Moves," "Mainstreet," and "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" also contained GREAT forgotten songs like "Ship of Fools" and "Sunburst"—brought to life like you've never heard them. Expect all the grit, soul, and passion Bob Seger's music deserves. No impersonator. No impressionist. Simplicity.


Then Dave's Silver Bullet Band transforms itself. Mark Calcott moves his keyboard and microphone front and center to start their 4th Annual Piano Man Anniversary Concert—and MTJ's second consecutive year hosting this November tradition.


Prepare for "The Very Best of Allentown"—the band's most polished Billy Joel songs. Expect everything from "Allentown" to "Zanzibar," "The Ballad of Billy the Kid," and "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" during the 90-minute set.


If you were at MTJ on Billy's Birthday on May 9, you know exactly what you're signing up for. THANK YOU, ESPECIALLY. If you weren't—"This Is The Time" to remember.


Seger and Joel are Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees and Grammy Award winners, with combined record sales of over 300,000,000 units, nearly 50 movie soundtracks, and 50 MTV videos.


Two album anniversaries to celebrate: Night Moves and Piano Man. Thank you for attending "Night Moves in Allentown"—so Rock N' Roll Never Forgets.
