The B Street Band’s Scrapped Inauguration Set List

Bruce Springsteen tribute band the B Street Band have pulled out of playing a Donald Trump inauguration ball. The group, who call themselves the “number one Bruce Springsteen tribute band” in the US, had been set to play the Garden State Gala at the Washington Court Hotel in DC the day before the president-elect’s inauguration on 20 January. Despite criticism from Springsteen fans and anti-Trump protesters, the band had claimed that the gala, which they have played twice before for President Obama, was a “non-partisan affair.”—The Guardian.
