(LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- There are nearly 48,000 reasons why Bruce is The Boss, and they’re all in the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music. Curator Melissa Ziobro, M.A., will usher your imagination through its doors in a presentation for teens and adults at the Ocean County Library Lacey Branch on Thursday, December 5, 2024. The event begins at 3:30pm.
The Monmouth University center serves research needs of music fans, scholars and authors interested in Springsteen’s life and career with documents, oral histories, photos, periodicals and artifacts from 47 nations. It also creates programs on others in the American music pantheon including Robert Johnson, Woody Guthrie, Patti Smith, and Frank Sinatra.
Melissa will provide an overview of the collection’s history, exhibits, and programs and she’ll offer an update on the museum that is scheduled to open in 2026.
