While best known as Springsteen’s long-time bass man – his links with the Boss pre-date launching E Street of which he was a founder member – Tallent is an established record producer in his own right.

Now in his 60s, he has branched out as the leader of his own band with an album soaked in country and rockabilly as a result of his move to Nashville during the 1990s.

Tallent was born in Detroit but grew up in New Jersey where the music scene brought the E Street’s original band members together in the 1970s.

Support on the night comes from Kevin Montgomery.

The Green Hotel gig is a rare chance to see an E Street legend up close and personal.
