So far, only 11 dates have been confirmed, stretching from a February 27 show in Toledo, Ohio, through an April 2 concert in Denver.  Seger and company promise that additional performances will be announced soon.  No word yet if the long-awaited studio album Seger has been recording will be released in conjunction with the trek.
