Springsteen fans, start your engines…..or at least your DVRS – tonight is the night to catch the first part of Springsteen’s two part appearance on Spectacle with Elvis Costello on the Sundance Channel!

In part one of a two-part episode, “Spectacle” host Elvis Costello welcomes Bruce Springsteen. Grammy Award-winning artist, widely known for his brand of heartland rock that includes intense ballads and rousing anthems filled with deeply emotional stories. Springsteen, with guitar in-hand, opens up about his pre-E Street Band bands and early inspirations. In addition to talking about his music, he performs it too. Springsteen performs “The River” and American Skin,” while E Street Band members Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan join him in “Wild Billy’s Circus Story.”

Catch the second part of this episode next week Wednesday, January 27th.

Here’s a clip from the episode in which Bruce reflects on writing “Hungry Heart.”
