About Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen was born in Freehold, New Jersey, and has been a seminal figure in music since the late 1960s. When he was a teen, he saw the Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and was so inspired he purchased a guitar. Then, after venturing to the Jersey Shore as a young adult, he got involved with the local band scene. 

After piquing the interest of John Hammond, who discovered Bob Dylan, he signed with Columbia Records and assembled the E Street Band in 1972. The subsequent release of his debut album, Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. in 1973, set the wheels in motion for the man the world would know as “The Boss.” 

His distinctive blend of rock, heartland rock, folk rock, and Americana, appealed to listeners of all walks of life but his style and lyrics especially won over the blue-collar crowd. His most celebrated works include Born to Run and his chart-topping single "Born in the U.S.A."  

Springsteen has sold more than 150 million records globally, and he’s had several #1 albums, including Born in the U.S.A. and The River, and Born in the U.S.A. alone produced an impressive seven Top-10 singles! As if that weren’t enough, he has won multiple Grammys, an Academy Award, and a Tony Award. 

In addition to his musical prowess, he’s known as an all-around good guy. His bandmates have stuck with him since the ‘70s, and there’s no doubt that he is one of the greatest frontmen of all time.
