Bruce Springsteen made his first on stage appearance of 2019 recently at New York's Tribeca Grill for a benefit supporting the Kristen Ann Carr Fund.

Alongside photographer Danny Clinch, and Springsteen's Tangiers Blues Band, The Boss played a set consisting of Johnny Rivers' "Rockin' Pneumonia and Boogie Woogie Flu" and the old boogie-woogie standard, "Down the Road Apiece," popularized by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones.
