The BRUCE TRIBUTE
Great Tribute Bands presents....The BRUCE TRIBUTE
After seeing Billy perform with his band, and simply crushing the Bruce Springsteen portion of the show, I knew that the public needed to hear he and his band pay tribute to Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band...and so THE BRUCE TRIBUTE was born and Great Tribute Bands is happy to be presenting this amazing tribute.
As a lifelong fan of Bruce’s music and a member of Clarence Clemons band (Bruce's Sax Player) for more than a decade, Billy is in a unique position to tribute this special music in a passionate and accurate way, fully capturing the emotion of Bruce’s legendary live shows!
Billy and his band The Livesays have been performing together for decades, and that is evident in the chemistry they have on stage....and now as THE BRUCE TRIBUTE that chemistry and their mutual love of Bruce are the perfect basis for them to evolve into THE BRUCE TRIBUTE…..an unmatched tribute to Bruce and his band.
