Concert Hall at Drew University presents BSTREETBAND

originally published: 10/24/2025

(MADISON, NJ) -- Get ready for a night of electrifying music as the legendary BSTREETBAND, the world's first tribute to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, lights up the Concert Hall at Drew University on Saturday, November 1 2025. Showtime is 8:00pm.

For over four decades, the BSTREETBAND has captivated audiences with its high-energy performances that honor the iconic sound of “The Boss.” Hailing from Asbury Park, NJ, the band (originally known as BackStreets) first made history in 1980 as the pioneers of the tribute band scene. With nearly 6,000 shows across major national venues and over 175 performances annually, the BSTREETBAND continues to set the gold standard for live music tributes.

The BSTREETBAND has shared unforgettable moments with members of the E Street Band, including appearances by “Miami Steve” Van Zandt, Max Weinberg, Garry W. Tallent, Vini “Mad Dog” Lopez, the late Clarence Clemons, and even Bruce Springsteen himself. These collaborations cement their reputation as one of the most beloved tribute bands in the world.

Concertgoers can look forward to an unforgettable journey through Springsteen’s legendary catalog, with hits that will transport fans to the heart of the Jersey Shore. From playing iconic venues like the Philadelphia Spectrum and MetLife Stadium to performing at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's tribute to Springsteen, the BSTREETBAND has become synonymous with the energy and spirit of The Boss.

Tickets range from $30-$45 and are available for purchase online. The Concert Hall at Drew University is located at 36 Madison Avenue in Madison, New Jersey.
