Springsteen’s Birthday Honored by New Jersey with First-Ever ‘Bruce Springsteen Day’

Bruce Springsteen, who is famously proud of his New Jersey roots, celebrated his 74th birthday on Sept. 23.

In honor of Bruce Springsteen’s 74th birthday on Sept. 23, the date has been officially declared the first-ever Bruce Springsteen Day in the Boss’ home state of New Jersey.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy first announced the proclamation in April. “Bruce Springsteen is one of the most recognizable, iconic and influential musicians — and New Jerseyans — of all time,” he said.

“It is important that we recognize Bruce for all he has done and will continue to do, from giving us the gift of his music to lending his time to the causes close to his heart, including making the Archives and Center for American Music a repository that will inspire tomorrow’s songwriters and singers.”
