The B Street Band withdraws from inaugural ball, cites 'gratitude' for Springsteen

BELMAR -- Bruce Springsteen's music will not soundtrack Donald Trump's inaugural celebrations after all.

The B Street Band, a long-running Boss tribute act based in Belmar, announced Monday it will not play the Garden State Inaugural Ball in Washington Thursday, after a weekend of intense criticism and thousands of emails from around the world.

"It's like we were in a hurricane," keyboardist Will Forte told NJ.com Monday. "And we realized what was most important to us was being grateful and respectful to Bruce. The last thing we want is for it to seem like we are being disingenuous to him and E Street."
