Hagen. Sechs Wochen nach Horses & Dreams gibt es möglicherweise erneut Promi-Alarm auf dem Hof Kasselmann: Vom 15. bis 18. Juni macht die „European Young Rider & Junior Rider Tour“ beim Turnier in Hagen Station: Zum fünfkopfigen US-Team zählt Jessica Springsteen, die 19-jährige Tochter des US-Rockstars Bruce Springsteen.
Beim Start in England vor knapp zwei Wochen zählten der „The Boss“ genannte Musiker und Ehefrau Patti Scalfia zu den Zuschauern. Ullrich Kasselmann bestätigte gestern, dass Jessica Springsteen für das Turnier Mitte Juni gemeldet ist. Kenntnisse darüber, ob sie auch in Hagen von ihrer Familie begleitet wird, gibt es aber noch nicht. Der Turnierveranstalter: „Diese Informationen bekommen wir – wenn überhaupt – erst kurz vor Turnierbeginn.“

THE MAX WEINBERG EXPERIENCE, LIVE AT BLUESFEST LONDON 2011
UNDER THE BRIDGE, SUNDAY 3rd JULY 2011
As the long-time drummer for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band (1974-1989) Max Weinberg has performed for millions of people around the world and been featured at many prestigious events, including the 1993 and 1997 Presidential Inauguration Galas, the 1995 Grammy Awards and the 1995 Gala Concert for the dedication of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, where he rejoined his former group. Called “the rhythmic backbone of the E Street Band,” by Robert Palmer of The New York Times, Weinberg was invited to perform in the East Room of the White House in December 1996 and served as the music director for Comic Relief 8 starring Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Williams at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
Cited by the “Playboy”Pop and Jazz Music Poll (1985) and the “Rolling Stone” Critics Poll (1986) as Best Drummer, Weinberg has performed or recorded with some of contemporary music’s biggest names including Sting, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Barbra Streisand, Ringo Starr, Natalie Merchant, Pete Townshend of the Who and Meatloaf. Weinberg’s performances on the classic rock albums “Born in the U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and “Bat Out of Hell” by Meatloaf earned him the distinction of having played on the first and second largest selling albums in rock history.
In 2009 Max debuted his ‘Big Band’ in the US, a bold, swinging 15 piece band that continues the traditions established by Max’s musical heroes, including Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Buddy Rich.
We’re delighted that Max is bringing his new ‘Max Weinberg Experience’ to the first BluesFest London. It is sure to be a spectacular night from one of the greatest drummers in the world. – Quelle
