BAND MEMBERS
Kevin Reid
lead vocals / acoustic guitar
Kevin is the voice of Forever Seger. When it comes to performing Bob Seger’s music with conviction, energy and outright rock and roll swagger, nobody does it better than Kevin. When the lights go down and Forever Seger hits the stage, Kevin’s voice and striking resemblance to Bob in his 1970’s heyday make the audience feel as if they’ve stepped back in time.
They say the mark of a great front man is someone who can connect with his audience. When playing his acoustic guitar and telling the stories behind classic Seger hits, Kevin can make even the largest room feel like an intimate living room performance. When it’s time to turn it up, Kevin knows how to get you out of your seat and get you singing and dancing in the isles.
Kevin fun fact : Kevin has an unhealthy addiction to the Rock and Roll clothing line Wornstar. A huge fan and supporter of the brand for many many years, Kevin wears Wornstar jeans exclusively on stage. He would like them to know how much he loves their product and if anyone from Wornstar is reading this, he says he would love an endorsement deal because his habit is getting really expensive.
John Jamieson
musical director / keys / backup vocals
John Jamieson is Forever Seger’s Musical Director and resident piano man. Not only that, it is no exaggeration to say that John is the Heartbeat of Forever Seger. When it comes to musicianship you’re not likely to come across many people like John. Whether it’s conducting Forever Seger on stage or in rehearsal, John works tirelessly to bring the best out of the band.
John’s fingerprint is all over the live shows that Forever Seger has become renowned for. Those unique live song arrangements and the incredible harmonies that the Segerettes belt out so effortlessly are all in part to John’s creative mind. Behind the scenes John is dedicated to creating Forever Seger’s on-line content. John has created and produced all the music videos that Forever Seger has released to date.
John Jamieson fun fact : John loves his coffee and he takes his coffee black. The only thing that John likes more than a hot cup of coffee, is the next cup of coffee.
To say Alex’s resumé is diverse is an understatement. Alex has performed with some of the biggest tribute acts around including David Bowie, Tom Petty, Paul McCartney, The Beatles, Supertramp, Coldplay and The 60’s British Invasion. Never one to turn down a gig, there’s also a really good chance he played at your wedding. e isles.
Alex fun fact : He takes the motto “The show must go on” very seriously. Once on a cruise ship gig performing as the Beatles, Alex along with almost every other performer on the ship contracted what in Beatles terms we’ll call “Yoko’s Revenge”. Alex was approached by the captain who said, “HELP! I need somebody” – to learn a Paul McCartney show in one day. Alex, still trying to keep his lunch from going “Here, There and Everywhere” agreed to do it. The show was saved and Alex was treated to a steak dinner and expensive wine as appreciation from the captain.
Cyndi fun fact: Cyndi’s mom was the voice of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, Yes THAT Rudolph that we all grew up watching every Christmas on television.
Cyndi’s father was William Richards, one of Canada’s most renowned Jazz Violinists. It’s that upbringing and love of music and entertainment that has made her who she is today, and we couldn’t be more thankful for it.
When not belting out the high notes with the Segerettes, Cyndi is a voice-over actress, accomplished childrens author and runs the day-to-day business of Soundhouse Studio in Toronto with her husband and Forever Seger musical director John Jamieson.

Cece Pastor

Her passion for music provides the balance that offsets her other passion as a Critical Care nurse, a role where her kind, compassionate and highly detail-oriented attributes shine through, as they do on stage.
Cece fun fact : She was named after the Patron Saint of Music, Saint Cecilia. Obviously, it was destiny that she’d be drawn to performing. Her name was shortened very early on to, “Tee-Tee-Cece” by her older brother, who thought she was a cat!!!
