Bruce Springsteen: A Live Celebration

A live show built around the songs of Bruce Springsteen, presented at The Blues Kitchen Brixton in London. It celebrates his catalogue rather than featuring the original artist.

Bruce Springsteen is an American singer-songwriter who began recording in the early 1970s and became closely associated with the E Street Band, whose members include Clarence Clemons and Steven Van Zandt. Albums such as Born to Run (1975), Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) and Born in the U.S.A. (1984) are among his best-known records, and his songs draw on rock, folk and country traditions.

This evening is a tribute to that catalogue, so the songs are performed by other musicians rather than by Springsteen himself. The emphasis falls on his writing and its roots in blues, country and folk, which places the material close to the stylistic world of the venue.

The Blues Kitchen Brixton is a London venue that hosts concerts and shows, with a programme that favours blues and roots music. The night suits listeners who want to hear Springsteen's songs reinterpreted in a live setting.
