8 Must-Visit Bruce Springsteen NJ Landmarks

With Bruce Springsteen’s biopic ‘Deliver Me From Nowhere’ set for release on the 24^th October, American Holidays has researched eight must-visit landmarks to visit for The Boss fans.

10^th Avenue, Belmar, New Jersey – In reference to his song ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’, an 8-foot giant guitar replica has been placed to honour the song, the Born To Run album and Bruce himself – an ideal photo opportunity.

Madam Marie’s, Asbury Park, New Jersey – Bruce used to visit the fortune teller Madam Marie, who often claimed he would one day be famous – she was definitely right!

The Stone Pony, Asbury Park, New Jersey - A legendary venue that opened in 1973 and still runs as an active place to see up and coming artists, The Stone Pony is renowned as the place Bruce has played more than any other venue.

Convention Hall, Asbury Park, New Jersey – Another long-standing venue Bruce has regularly rehearsed and performed in. The Rolling Stones, James Brown, and Led Zeppelin have also performed there.

7 ½ West End Ct, Long Branch, New Jersey – Known as the ‘Born To Run House’, this small, unassuming blue house is where Bruce wrote his iconic Born To Run record, including songs ‘Thunder Road,’ ‘Born To Run,’ ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze Out’ and many more.

E Street, Belmar, New Jersey – The infamous E Street Band has been on the road with Bruce on and off since the early 70s. The name is taken from a short street where Bruce and the band used to practice when they first started out.

39 ½ Institute Street, Freehold, New Jersey – Bruce lived in this house in 1958, when he would have been around nine years old. It’s a white, wooden house with a porch at the front and a big sycamore tree in the yard.
