Hank Azaria Sets Brooklyn Bowl Concert for November 8th, with Acclaimed Bruce Springsteen Tribute Band

Tuesday, September 24th -- New York, NY: Six-time Emmy Award winner, Screen Actors Guild Award winner, and Tony Award nominee Hank Azaria is performing his critically acclaimed Bruce Springsteen Tribute, Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band, at Brooklyn Bowl on Friday, November 8th, 2024 at 8pm ET.

Azaria is an acclaimed voice artist, perhaps best known for his decades of work on The Simpsons. Now he’s using his voice in a new and different way, and having a blast entertaining people in a live, concert setting. Azaria spent months creating an impression of Bruce’s distinctive speaking cadence and singing ‘voice’ to conceive the tribute show. As Azaria told Rolling Stone“I think of it as a theatrical performance,” he says. “I’m staying in character as Bruce even though I’m telling stories about myself. It’s a performance piece, but I’m not a Bruce impersonator.” 

The tribute performance itself is a joyful, full-tilt rock ’n roll event, and Azaria’s physicality and flair are a true homage to Bruce. Azaria channels many familiar components of Bruce Springsteen’s iconography: intimate, irreverent storytelling, connection to family, preternatural stamina, camaraderie with the band, and a palpable love for performing. Azaria has delivered a show we want to root for - invigorating, upbeat and ambitious. Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band has been praised by: Rolling StoneNPR Weekend EditionNew York MagazineNBC-TV New York LiveRelixThe Observer and more.
