Bruce Springsteen performed Thursday night at the Music America concert in New Jersey, duetting with Kenny Chesney and others to mark 250 years of American music.
The event took place at the OceanFirst Bank Center in Monmouth, New Jersey. Springsteen shared the bill with Rosanne Cash, Kenny Chesney, Dropkick Murphys, and several other artists. Springsteen duetted with Rosanne Cash on the Woody Guthrie song Deportee. He later brought out Kenny Chesney for This Land Is Your Land and joined Dropkick Murphys on I’m Shipping Up to Boston and American Land. Springsteen told the crowd that the Guthrie song could have been written yesterday given current events. Ken Casey of Dropkick Murphys dedicated their performance to the Guthrie family.
