Hank Azaria steps into the spotlight in a new role as the frontman of Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band, channeling his inner Bruce Springsteen for the tribute act that started as a 60th birthday celebration and quickly turned into a regular gig. He's even taking it on the road (get tickets here)! Listen to his conversation with Kyle Meredith, where Azaria delves into his journey from comedic acting to rock 'n' roll, tackling Bruce’s iconic voice, and the emotional thrill of performing Springsteen’s classics on stage.
Known for his wide-ranging roles in The Simpsons, Friends, and Brockmire, Azaria reflects on his journey from a being Bruce fan in 1976 to fronting a band that performs regularly. He explains how his fandom grew through bootleg live recordings and endless spins of Springsteen’s first five albums.
For Azaria, singing Springsteen’s songs is not only about nailing the impression; it’s an emotional outlet and a way to channel Springsteen's expressive storytelling. Azaria’s new setlist covers Springsteen classics from Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. to Wrecking Ball. Between songs, he uses Springsteen’s classic "talks" style, weaving in personal stories that connect him even further to Bruce’s themes of resilience, creativity, and struggle. Each show also serves as a benefit for his charity, bringing an extra layer of purpose to every performance.
Listen to Hank Azaria chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube. Please take the time to like, review, and subscribe to KMW wherever you get your podcasts, and keep up to date with all our series by following the Consequence Podcast Network.
