Bet you at least toyed with the idea of crossing the pond for this. What a lineup:

Hold Steady, M. Ward Pay Tribute to Bruce Springsteen
Plus: Badly Drawn Boy, Steve Earle, Ronnie Spector, Josh Ritter
If you love Bruce Springsteen unabashedly, there's no reason to hide in the closet anymore (and really, was there ever?). Folks nowadays aren't just singing his praises in interviews or invoking his exalted style on record, they're also holding massive benefit tribute concerts.
"The Music of Bruce Springsteen" straps its hands across the engines of New York City's Carnegie Hall on April 5. The Boss-baiting benefit bonanza, produced by Knitting Factory founder Michael Dorf, will feature live Bruce covers from the Hold Steady, M. Ward, Juliana Hatfield, Steve Earle, Ronnie Spector (with Jesse Malin), Badly Drawn Boy, Josh Ritter, Elysian Fields, North Mississippi Allstars, Pete Yorn, and more.
Like last fall's Bob Dylan tribute, proceeds here go to the United Jewish Appeal-Federation's Music for Youth initiative, which aims to fund music education programs for underprivileged youth. That's reason enough to sit through Jewel's Springsteen cover. Get your tickets here.
In summary: Bruuuuuuuuuuuuce!

I wish. I'm in D.C., have a brother in the general NYC area, but it's just not in the cards... |

The Hold Steady rocked when I saw them at the Black Cat. I think catching shows in NYC is more fun, though. Sucks I'm going broke, I'd like to go. |

If anyone deserves a tribute it's Springsteen. He's like a demi-god out in Jersey! |

he's even more than that at Casa Gazza, and with five shows in Ireland last year, on the Emerald Isle as a whole.
Sounds like a nice line up. |
