Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is a rock singer, songwriter, and bandleader from Long Branch, New Jersey who grew up in a working-class family in Freehold and started his career playing clubs in Asbury Park. He built his reputation through storytelling lyrics about working-class life, backed by the E Street Band, across a string of acclaimed albums from the 1970s through the 1980s and beyond. His music sits in heartland rock and rock and roll, mixing arena anthems with quieter, more personal material.
