" The B Street Band's scheduled performance at the upcoming Garden State Presidential Inaugural Gala has generated a storm of national news, from New York to Los Angeles, particularly given Bruce Springsteen's clearly articulated feelings about President-elect Trump.
In the wake of the brouhaha, the B Street Band has decided to pull out. Founder Will Forte contacted Backstreets to let us know that, after playing the same New Jersey gala in 2009 and 2013, this one "will no longer will be happening"; he provided us this statement:
With deepest apologies to our fans and the New Jersey Inaugural Ball committee, the B Street Band is withdrawing from performing at this year's inauguration Gala.Our decision is based SOLELY on the respect and gratitude we have for Bruce and the E Street Band. Bruce's music has been the foundation of our livelihood. The B Street Band would not exist without the talents of Bruce and our E Street brothers. We are most grateful to these rock legends and look forward to many more years of emulating and performing the Forever Music, of Bruce Springsteen. "
