Bruce Springsteen is all about a straightforward musical style; a concern with the average, blue-collar working man; and a firm belief that rock’s purpose exceeds mere entertainment and incorporates a social, communal purpose. Listen to his music, and you’ll hear commercial rock, but often with a folk-oriented edge that taps the inner life of what it means to be an American.
And now, the rock ensemble Bruce In The USA, called by Legends, Las Vegas “...the most powerful and intense Springsteen tribute on the planet..." comes to the Schuster Center. Much more than just a tribute, Bruce In The USA is a high-energy and note-perfect recreation of a Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band show. But with a twist: the rock ensemble is backed by the full Dayton Philharmonic. Matt Ryan began playing Springsteen in 2000 in the Legends full-scale Vegas show. From Matt’s great success there, his character blossomed into the Bruce In The USA show.
Matt's band consists of seasoned world-class professional musicians from such acts/bands as Queen, Meatloaf, Blue Öyster Cult, Hall and Oates, Joe Cocker, The O'Jays, Aretha Franklin, David Cassidy, The Temptations... and many more. This powerhouse band has taken this genre of performance art to a whole new level, making it the world's number-one tribute to the E Street Band's musical legacy.
Don't miss it.

On November 14, 1940, the German Luftwaffe bombed the city of Coventry, England, hitting the 14th-century Coventry Cathedral with incendiary bombs and virtually destroying it. The very next morning, those in charge decided to rebuild the cathedral, not to defy the enemy, “…but rather (as) a sign of faith, trust, and hope for the future of the world.”
In 1962 English composer Benjamin Britten, a pacifist, had been given carte blanche to compose a work to commemorate the rebuilt cathedral’s consecration.
He responded with music for the ages; his magnificent War Requiem. Using the traditional Latin Mass for the Dead, Britten interspersed nine poems about war by English poet Wilfred Owen, who was killed in World War One a scant week before the signing of the Armistice. In so doing, he created a Requiem that breaks all molds.
