The Man as a young
rapscallion

A little while ago, we called out for entries for a a WXPN Bruce Springsteen tribute to honor the Bossman's 60th birthday. The plan was to have Philly artists cover Born to Run (as a centerpiece) and other Bruce faves. Now it's all happening Sept. 23, so mark your calendars. XPN has the deets up. It's all free but you have to pre-register here in order to attend. Here are some musicians to expect:

Ben Arnold Band, Tom Hamilton's American Babies, East Hundred, John Train band featuring Mike Brenner, Sharon Little, James Maddock, Cynthia G. Mason, Dan May, Missing Palmer West, Phil Roy, Matt Santry, The Great Unknown, Theotis Joe, The Rigbees, and the Phill-E Street Band.

Lest we not forget, Springsteen will hit up the Spectrum later in October for a final bow at the Spectrum. And 'cause it's Friday and who doesn't love "Thunder Road"? Here it is.

Wed., Sept. 23, 7-9 p.m., free, World Cafe Live Downstairs, 3025 Walnut St., 215-222-1400, worldcafelive.com.
