Recorded last year and released this past March, the PBS broadcast of “A Tribute To Bruce Springsteen” highlights the music industry event recognizing Springsteen's creative accomplishments as well as his significant charitable work, and features Bruce and the E Street Band in addition to more than a dozen performances of Springsteen's work by other artists.
Hosted by Jon Stewart, the event saw Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Elton John, Sting, Patti Smith, John Legend, Kenny Chesney and more deliver unique versions of Springsteen classics before the honoree hit the stage with the E Street Band to close the show.
Established in 1989, MusiCares provides a place for musicians to turn to in times of financial, personal, or medical crisis; the foundation's programs include emergency financial assistance, addiction recovery, outreach and leadership activities, and senior housing.
