The Born To Run Band was created to perform the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band along with various other bands in the same genre. All instruments are played by some of the most talented musicians from the Central NY area to provide the audience one of the most true authentic performances they’ll ever experience – that is unless they go to see Bruce himself! As a group, we bring a unique level of precision and passion to Springsteen and others music through each individuals respect for the authenticity of the artists we are emulating, while not doing so in a clone-like manner. Please check out our Born To Run Band Page on Facebook and come out to experience the music and join in the fun!
