Bruce Juice

Bruce Juice is a seven-piece Springsteen tribute act that performs the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band at New Cross Inn in London. The group presents its shows as a stand-in for the original artists.

Bruce Juice is a tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, not the original artists. The seven-piece group says it plays out of admiration for Springsteen's music rather than as a memorial, and presents its shows as a high-energy way to bridge the long gaps between his tours.

The repertoire is built from arrangements taken from live concerts such as those at the Main Point, the Bottom Line, Passaic, Winterland and Tempe. Songs from the 1970s album Wild, Innocent & E Street Shuffle appear alongside anthems from the Born to Run tour, while material from the 1980s The River tour brings out the piano, organ and saxophone parts. Stadium-sized numbers from the Born in the USA tour round out the set.

New Cross Inn, at 323 New Cross Road, mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening will suit Springsteen listeners who want a band working through his catalogue with a focus on live arrangements.
