Trenton, NJ – Springsteen reunites with The Sessions Band for a spirited concert filmed last November at The Point in Dublin, Ireland. The world premiere of this special concert airs on NJN Public Television on Monday, April 30 at 8 pm.

Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band Live in Dublin demonstrates the growth of Springsteen’s vision of American music with folk music, blues, Dixieland, country, swing, gospel and his own writing – all with Springsteen’s own classic stamp of unlimited energy. It charts the development of a band – from an informal gathering in Springsteen’s living room to an onstage powerhouse. This is some of the finest music he has ever made.

Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band Live in Dublin will be released by Columbia Records on June 5, 2007 as a concert DVD and as a separate two-CD set – both feature 23 songs drawn from the band’s performances at The Point in Dublin, Ireland on November 17, 18 and 19, 2006. Songs include fan favorites from “The Seeger Sessions,” radical interpretations from the Springsteen songbook and rare songs appearing for the first time on any Springsteen release. Prior to the national air date in June, NJN will be offering viewers a chance to receive the concert DVD and the two-CD set during its April 30 broadcast of Bruce Springsteen with The Sessions Band Live in Dublin. More information available at Springsteen Highlights at njn.net.
