Hank Azaria does a dozen Simpsons voices and he’s put the characters to good use, covering Bruce Springsteen to explain his upcoming shows with his Springsteen cover band The EZ Street Band.

Watch Hank as Moe Szyslak, Comic Book Guy, Snake, Professor Frink, Sea Captain, Cletus, Duffman, Chief Wiggum and also Bruce in ‘Born To Run’.

Shows will take place at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl on November 8 and Stone Pony, New Jersey on November 15.

This all started when “I had this crazy idea that I would like to sing some Springsteen songs to surprise people at my 60th birthday party,” Hank said. At first I wasn’t sure I could catch Bruce’s singing voice. Talking like him is no problem, I mean, that’s my day job!”

Hank called Adam Kromelow, his son’s former jazz piano teacher, who had a Genesis tribute band, and began practicing… and practicing… and practicing for six months.

“I’ve never worked so hard to prepare for a role as I did perfecting a singing vocal impression of Bruce Springsteen,” Hank said.

Just like the E Street Band, the EZ Street Band is also a big band. Adam Kromlow brought everyone together.

The tire is:
Nak Azaria (vocals)
Hannah Juliano (background vocals)
Alden Harris-McCoy (rhythm guitar)
Evan Harris (sax)
Christian Nourihanian (organ)
Adam Kromlow (piano)
Tim Basom (guitar)
Jeff Koch (bass)
Dustin Kaufman (drums)

The band has collaborated with Ariana Grande, Post Malone, Lil Nas and they can be giants.
