Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen is an American rock singer-songwriter and guitarist.
Bruce Springsteen has frequently recorded and toured with the E Street Band, in addition to recording and performing as a solo artist and with other musicians : Elvis Presley, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Eddie Cochran and Bob Dylan.
Bruce Springsteen is most widely known for his brand of heartland rock infused with pop hooks, poetic lyrics, and Americana sentiments centered around his native New Jersey.
His eloquence in expressing ordinary, everyday problems has earned him numerous awards, including several Grammy Awards, an Academy Award, and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
He has gradually become identified with progressive politics. Springsteen is also noted for his support of various relief and rebuilding efforts for his response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, on which his album The Rising reflects.
Much of Springsteen's iconic status in America as well as his popularity abroad stems from his concert performances—marathon shows, in which he and the E Street Band energetically perform intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs.
