Bruce Springsteen’s story began in the streets of Freehold, New Jersey, when a kid with a guitar chased dreams bigger than the world he knew. He started with local bar gigs that with time became too small for his dreams.
Springsteen built his reputation as the OG poet of the American experience, putting his effort and heart on rock 'n' roll. With the E Street Band at his side, he transformed into "The Boss," filling stadiums worldwide and earning his place as one of music’s biggest legends.
Now, decades later, his journey from small-town dreamer to cultural icon comes full circle as his life and music inspire a new movie, a celebration of the man, (The Boss), and his unique music.
