Tá cáil i bhfad agus i ngearr ar Bruce Springsteen. Tá clú ar a bheoléirithe paiseanta agus is cumadóir amhrán thar na bearta é. Baineann sé leas as ceol rithim agus gormacha, snagcheol, luath-racanról, ceol tíre agus soul.

The line-up features Liam Ó Maonlaí on vocals and piano; Steve Cooney on guitar; Nick Roth on saxophone; Robbie Perry on percussion and Trevor Hutchinson on bass. The lyrics have been translated into Irish by Gabriel Rosenstock. Screen projections by Margaret Lonergan. Produced by IMRAM Irish Literature Festival.
