Grab your red baseball cap and get set to hear the original Big Boss man come live and direct to you from center stage- it's time to get your tickets to see Bruce Springsteen live in concert! It is rare that a singer/ songwriter will come along that not only sings from his heart, but will stand up for what he believes in and in the end, endure in the face of the impossible. Springsteen has done just that and if the pure magic of his music isn't proof enough of his greatness, he was the awards, nominations, international fan base and critical praise to prove what a musical genius he is.

Springsteen has neatly fit into the space left by greats like Elvis, Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. With a signature brand of music that is folk based yet heavily laced with blues, rock and pop influences, the music of Springsteen is the music of a generation. He is a man of the people, unafraid of the blue collar around his neck since that is where much of his music comes from. Almost all of Springsteen's material comes from Americana and the heartland and his themes always deal with everyday men and women just trying to get by, day after day.

Springsteen is first and foremost a storyteller- this is not just evident in the songs he sings but also in the concerts he holds. He is well known for his marathon efforts, with sets running as long as four hours, filled with his intense ballads, power anthems and his stories of whimsy or reality sprinkled all the way through. Springsteen's concerts are about music as a story, an experience to share and touch the members of the audience and leave them with a feeling of completion and satisfaction.

Never one to openly advocate any particular politics, Springsteen did feel that something needed to be done about Bush and was part of the 'Vote for Change' tour with The Dixie Chicks, REM, John Cougar Mellencamp and the Dave Mathews Band. He has also been active with the effects of 9/11, the Iraq war and the efforts to rebuild New Orleans. He was officially inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 1999. He has thirteen Grammy awards to his name, one Academy Award for Best Song and an asteroid named after him. Springsteen often performs with the E Street Band though at one time he went completely solo.
