(WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ) -- You can join the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music for an advance listen to selections from Tracks II: The Lost Albums on Thursday, June 26, 2025 at Lauren K. Woods Theatre. The session will be moderated and curated by radio personalities Tom Cunningham and Rich Russo. It is free and open to the public, but registration is required. The event is expected to last about 2 hours.

One lucky registrant will win two tickets to a special "Evening with Thom Zimny" event, to be held the evening of Friday, September 5, at Monmouth University’s Pollak Theatre. (Additional details on that event will be made public shortly.)

Register for the event here.  The Lauren K. Woods Theatre is located on the campus of Monmouth University at 400 Cedar Avenue in West Long Branch, New Jersey. The event begins at 7:00pm.

Tracks II: The Lost Albums arrives on June 27 and will include seven previously unheard Bruce Springsteen records in full.

A set spanning 83 songs, “Tracks II” will be available in limited-edition nine LP, seven CD and digital formats — including distinctive packaging for each previously-unreleased record. Also included will be a 100-page cloth-bound, hardcover book featuring rare archival photos, liner notes on each lost album from essayist Erik Flannigan, and a personal introduction to the project from Springsteen himself.
