A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTIST
Springsteen grew up in New Jersey and first assembled his E Street Band on its beaches and in its boardwalk clubs. His first two records were ambitious non-breakthroughs; his third, “Born to Run” (1975), made the kind of once-in-a-decade impact that resonates to this day; “Born in the U.S.A.” (1984), did it again. Early albums such as “Darkness on the Edge of Town” (1978) and “The River” (1981) began solidifying his position as a singer and songwriter of incalculable influence.

Yet for all his critical and commercial success, Springsteen’s albums illustrated a drive to challenge his audience, as evidenced by the bleak, four-track-cassette-recorded “Nebraska” (1982), the introverted relationship document “Tunnel of Love” (1987), the E Street-less double-shot of “Human Touch and Lucky Town” (1992), the parched, acoustic “The Ghost of Tom Joad” (1995), the folk/New Orleans-flavored “We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions” (2006), and the lush variety show “Working on a Dream” (2009).

In 1999, after a decade apart, Springsteen reconvened the E Street Band; in 2002 he released “The Rising,” an attempt to make sense of 9/11, and followed it in 2007 with “Magic,” an attempt to make sense of its complicated aftermath. The band has since remained a freight train, as active, prolific and resonant as at any point in its past.

A 1999 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Springsteen has sold more than 65 million albums in the U.S. and 120 million worldwide. He’s won 20 Grammys, an Academy Award, been a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors and performed at halftime at the Super Bowl.

ABOUT THE RIVER TOUR 2016
Springsteen and The E Street Band’s The River Tour 2016 ranks as the year’s biggest in both Billboard and Pollstar, as the 75-show tour has drawn rave reviews and set sales records across Europe and the United States. On Aug. 25, in front of his hometown crowd at MetLife Stadium, Springsteen and the band broke the record for their longest show ever in the United States with a four-hour performance featuring 33 songs. The four-hour show shattered his previous U.S. record set on Aug. 23 at MetLife of 3:52 and 35 songs. His all-time record is 4:05, which was set in Helsinki, Finland in 2012.
The River Tour 2016 wraps up with the Sept. 14 show at Gillette Stadium, which will be Springsteen and the band’s first performance in Foxborough since the Wrecking Ball World Tour in 2012.
