The Rising is a brotherhood of friends, some with ties that date back two decades. Cut from the worn denim of blue collar towns, they've paid their musical dues playing dive bars and juke joints. Their passion and talent are real. The band holds true to the artistic vision to honor both Springsteen and the fans. Performing songs from Greetings From Asbury Park through Working On A Dream, they deliver each song with the same power, heart and soul as Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. C'mon up to The Rising — the house-rocking, earth-shaking, heart-stopping tribute!
