Hank Azaria & the EZ Street Band - A Springsteen Tribute

9:00-11:00 | Crossroad Construction Kennedy Plaza Concert Stage

Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band is a labor of love for Azaria, a lifelong Springsteen fan. “I’ve never worked harder preparing for any role than I did in perfecting a singing vocal impression of Bruce,” said Azaria.

Azaria is an acclaimed actor and voice artist, perhaps best known for his decades of work on The Simpsons. Now he’s using his voice in a new and different way—having a blast entertaining people in a live concert setting. Azaria spent months creating an impression of Bruce’s distinctive speaking cadence and singing voice to conceive the tribute show. As he told Rolling Stone, “I think of it as a theatrical performance. I’m staying in character as Bruce even though I’m telling stories about myself. It’s a performance piece, but I’m not a Bruce impersonator.”
