Happy 46th birthday to the one and only Jake Clemons. While we usually see and hear much of Jake playing his late uncle's saxophone whenever he performs in the E Street Band, the photo above - from last spring/summer's Land of Hope & Dreams European tour - reminds us that the sax isn't the only instrument he's been known to play at Springsteen/ESB shows. And of course in Jake's solo career, he plays many other instruments, too, including guitar and piano.
So Happy Birthday and many, many more, Jake! We look forward to seeing you back onstage with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band soon, continuing to play your important part - and whatever instrument might be called for in a given moment - to defend democracy, while urging all of us to get ourselves a song to sing and sing it 'til we're done. See you there!
