Monmouth Univ. video series to focus on Springsteen’s Grammy history

Springsteen Grammys 2021

Bruce Springsteen at the 1995 Grammy Awards, and Ken Ehrlich.

Soundstage, a monthly video series produced by the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, will focus on Springsteen’s Grammy performances, with longtime Grammy Awards Show producer Ken Ehrlich in conversation with journalist Bob Santelli.

According to a press release, “During the conversation with Santelli, Ehrlich talks about working with Springsteen on several of the live shows, as a performer, a nominee, and a GRAMMY Award recipient.”

The show will be available March 11 at 10 a.m. at springsteenarchives.org and the Archives’ Facebook page.

This year’s 63rd annual Grammy Awards — for which Springsteen’s Letter to You album was ineligible, because it came out to late in 2020 — will air on CBS television, March 14 at 8 p.m.

Previous shows in the Soundstage series have focused on Nils Lofgren, David Sancious, Tom Morello, Arlo Guthrie, and Garry Tallent with The Delevantes. NJArts.net is compiling them, as well as the videos in the Archives’ “What’s Up on E Street?” series, here.

Also, the Springsteen Archives is offering a live stream interview of E Street Band drummer Max Weinberg, by Santelli, March 9 at 7 p.m., that will provide “a red carpet GRAMMY preview and update on the Bruce Springsteen Archives and Center for American Music,” according to press release. It costs $10 to enter, half of which will go to the Monmouth Fund.
