Bruce Juice – The Bruce Springsteen Show
A live injection of Bruce Juice during the long years between Bruce Springsteen’s tours, this new band provides a vibrant tonic pumped into every aching hungry heart.
You can expect an ‘E-Street’ experience that captures the unique seven-piece band line-up through arrangements from legendary concerts such as the Main Point to the Bottom Line, Passaic, Winterland and Tempe.
The band reproduces the original arrangements from the 1970s Wild, Innocent and a slow, bluesy ‘E Street Shuffle’ as well as the iconic anthems from the ‘Born to Run’ tour.
More gems from the 1980s capture the crisp, rasping sound of the ‘Professor’s’ piano, Federici’s organ and Clarence’s sax from ‘The River’ tour, as well as a few stadium foot-stompers from the ‘Born in the USA’ tour.
Bruce Juice stands out as there are usually a couple of surprise gems thrown in, with some great Bruce songs that don’t usually feature in tributes but are much loved by Bruce fans.
This is the only Springsteen tribute band combining popular favourites with the essence of Springsteen’s arrangements in legendary live gigs and an unforgettable show.
The term’ tribute band’ doesn’t fit – it’s just that there isn’t another word. We are not trying to pay tribute to Bruce as if he has won an award or passed away. Instead, we LOVE his Music and everything about the energy and passion with which he and the E Street Band deliver unforgettable shows.
Saturday 15th July, Doors 7.30 pm. Bruce Juice will be on stage at 8 pm
Advance Tickets: £18.00
Door Tickets: £20.00
