Bob Seger [ tickets ] is set to back his latest album, "Face the Promise," with late-year roadwork that will mark his first concert tour since 1996.

The Michigan native and his Silver Bullet Band will kick off the outing Nov. 8 in Grand Rapids, MI. Another Michigan appearance is set two days later in Saginaw, and is followed by stops in Milwaukee and Indianapolis.

The singer expects to add more dates to the itinerary in coming days.

"Face the Promise," which hit stores Sept. 12, is Seger's first studio effort since 1995's "It's a Mystery." The interval between the two discs is the longest in the 61-year-old singer's career. The new album's initial single is titled "Wait For Me."

"It's a pretty high-energy rock record," Seger recently told USA Today. "I would say it's more rock 'n' roll than usual. I wrote a lot of songs, a lot of songs. I probably recorded about 30, but the best songs happened to be more rock-leaning"

Seger--a 2004 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee--began his recording career almost 40 years ago, when he released "Ramblin' Gamblin' Man" with his then-current band, The Bob Seger System. He went on to record more than a dozen albums, most with his longtime group, The Silver Bullet Band, and has notched lifetime album sales of nearly 50 million.

Seger's 1994 "Greatest Hits" compilation has sold more than 7 million copies to date, and has remained on the Billboard Pop Catalog charts for an unbroken 600-week run.
