Bruce Springsteen

Often called "The Boss," Springsteen is the poet laureate of the working class. His songs are cinematic snapshots of broken-down towns, highway dreams, and the search for a "promised land." Whether he’s backed by a roaring rock band or standing alone with an acoustic guitar and a harmonica, his music captures the struggle between despair and hope. He writes about the nobility of the everyday man, making the local streets of New Jersey feel as vast and epic as the cosmos.
