LOGLINE: Travelin’ Man is a raw, behind-the-scenes documentary chronicling the untold story of Bob Seger’s rise to rock legend status—through the eyes of his former road manager and photographer, Tom Weschler. Featuring rare insider accounts, this documentary captures the grit, camaraderie, and relentless passion that fueled one of America’s greatest rock & roll icons.

When Producer Alex Greene first met Tom Weschler, he found himself standing in Tom’s living room, facing the man who had lived rock and roll history. Tom, seated on the couch, listened as Alex confidently stated, “I’d like to make a film about Bob Seger.” Without missing a beat, Tom smirked and replied, “Yeah, you and half of Hollywood.”

But Alex wasn’t just another dreamer. He leaned in, eyes locked on Tom, and asked, “You know the difference between me and Hollywood, don’t you?” Tom raised an eyebrow. “No.” Alex’s voice sharpened with conviction. “I’m standing in your fucking living room.”

In that moment, the skepticism faded. Tom saw the fire in Alex’s eyes—the determination to tell this story the right way. That was the beginning of Travelin’ Man, a documentary born from passion, persistence, and the undeniable power of showing up.​  

Bringing Travelin’ Man to Life: A Rock & Roll Legacy in the Making

For months, Andrea Houle, Co-Producer and partner of Travelin’ Man, LLC, sat down with Tom Weschler—week after week—uncovering the untold stories behind the book Travelin’ Man. These weren’t just memories; they were raw, behind-the-scenes moments of Bob Seger’s rise, the kind that never made it to print.

After two years of meticulous research, Andrea, Alex and Tom embarked on crafting a screenplay—a true-to-life, Travelin Man insider’s account of the grit, grind, and glory of rock ‘n’ roll.

Then came a pivotal moment. In December 2023, Andrea and Alex approached the Detroit Historical Museum with a bold idea: a Bob Seger exhibit, featuring Tom’s legendary photographs. The museum not only agreed—they expanded the exhibition from six months to a full year, debuting on Bob Seger Day, March 15, 2024 and closing out on March 15th, 2025. This wasn’t just an exhibit—it was a celebration of history, music, and the images that defined a generation.

Now, it’s time for the next chapter: bringing Tom’s story to the screen.
