Western Stars

Event Details

Bruce Springsteen, an iconic American voice, returns to the American Dream in his new album Western Stars. His five-decade obsession with dreams of work, love, and escape has always been connected to real moments in our political—and presidential—history. In a unique concert film, Springsteen performs the album in front of friends in a century-old barn, with his personal narration woven in to the story of the songs.
