Get ready for one of the hottest shows of the year…or any year, for that matter, because Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are back! The legendary group has reunited in full force and will be traversing the nation, from coast to coast, on the heels of Magic, the ensemble’s first studio album since 2002’s Grammy Award-winning The Rising.
On October 2, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are going to be making a big splash in the world of music. Not only will that be the date that the new Springsteen album, “Magic”, hits record store shelves, but on Tuesday, it was announced that October 2 would be the first night of a lengthy world tour for Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
Bruce Springsteen released his first album in 1973, but it was his second album, The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle in 1974 that led a rock critic to call him “the future of rock’n'roll.” A year later Springsteen released Born to Run to critical and popular success, and he was a bona fide rock star, nicknamed “The Boss.” In the ’80s he released The River to huge success, and his 1984 album, Born in the U.S.A. was on top of the charts for seven weeks. In the ’90s Springsteen left his back-up band and recorded solo, but by the end of the decade was touring with them again. Known for his songs about working-class Americans and for his generous and frequent live performances, Springsteen has been one of the top rock acts for nearly three decades. His 2005 album, Devils & Dust earned five Grammy nominations, winning one for best solo rock performance.
