E Street Band bass guitarist Garry Tallent will be the featured guest on the next episode of “What\u2019s Up on E Street?,” a new online series presented by the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University.<\/p>\n

The new series highlights the individual members of the band and how they are dealing with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Topics covered include how they are spending their days, and how the pandemic is impacting their creativity.<\/p>\n

The episode goes live on Tuesday, July 28 at 10 a.m., and can be accessed on the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music website<\/a>\u00a0or via the\u00a0Springsteen Archives\u2019 Facebook page<\/a>. Previous interviews with other E Street Band members Nils Lofgren, Roy Bittan, and Max Weinberg are also available.<\/p>\n

“The interviews we\u2019ve done thus far have been interesting and enlightening,” said music historian Bob Santelli, creator of the series. “Fifty years from now, the words and frustrations echoed by E Street Band members about the COVID pandemic and America in 2020, will, I think, offer a glimpse of where things stood in what may be the most turbulent year in our nation\u2019s history since 1968.”<\/p>\n

“COVID has impacted my life, just like it has everyone else,” said Tallent. “The thing is to keep busy, find useful things to do, and stay connected to the important things in life.”<\/p>\n

Bass player Garry Tallent is the longest-serving musician in the E Street Band, having been a key member since its origins in 1972. Tallent\u2019s strong and steady bass patterns provide much of the foundation for Springsteen\u2019s music. A student of the blues, soul, and rhythm and blues, Tallent\u2019s knowledge of these American music forms goes back to his teen years on the Jersey Shore when he first started collecting records. In addition to being a member of the E Street Band, Tallent has done a number of outside recording projects, the most latest being one with Bob and Mike Delevante.<\/p>\n
