E Street

Fifth-letter avenue

E Street refers to the E Street Band, Bruce Springsteen's longtime backing group, named after a street in Belmar, New Jersey where early band members lived and rehearsed.

The name evokes Springsteen's working-class New Jersey roots and has become synonymous with his anthemic rock sound: The E Street Band reunion tour sold out in minutes.
