Springsteen will discuss his forthcoming album We Shall Overcome: The Seeger Sessions on the weekly SIRIUS program Kick Out the Jams with Dave Marsh on Sunday, April 23, starting at 10 am ET on SIRIUS Stars channel 102. It will also be broadcast on Monday, April 24 at 1 pm and 7 pm ET, and on Tuesday, April 25 at 1 pm ET, on channel 18, The Spectrum.
Springsteen's new album features his personal interpretations of 13 traditional songs associated with folk artist Pete Seeger, and will be released by Columbia Records on Tuesday, April 25. The album's extensive liner notes were written by Marsh, and can be viewed at http://www.brucespringsteen.net/ .
Marsh is the author of three definitive books on Springsteen and his work. He previously interviewed Springsteen for an exclusive SIRIUS broadcast that aired in November 2005, when SIRIUS devoted a commercial-free music channel to the music of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the release of Springsteen's album Born To Run. E Street Radio, which also featured conversations with E Street Band members and others associated with Springsteen throughout his career, was created and broadcast exclusively by SIRIUS from November 1, 2005 through January 31, 2006.
A US tour has been confirmed for Bruce Springsteen with The Seeger Sessions Band. Following the band's initial US date in New Orleans on April 30 and a series of ten concerts in Europe, the US tour resumes with a series of 18 shows kicking off in Boston on May 27 and finishing in New Jersey on June 25. Each night, an all new evening of gospel, folk, and blues will be presented by Springsteen with the 17-member Seeger Sessions Band.
