About Tom Weschler
For those who don’t know, Tom Weschler is more than just a photographer—he’s a Detroit rock ‘n’ roll historian.

His work spans decades, featuring legendary artists like The Stooges, The Romantics, Glenn Frey, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper, Kid Rock, Mitch Ryder, and MC5.
