The Simpsons voice actor Hank Azaria is launching a Bruce Springsteen tribute band.
Dubbed Hank Azaria & The EZ Street Band, the act is set to make its debut on August 1st at the Le Poisson Rouge in New York City. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Four Through Nine Foundation, which is committed to social justice, education and recovery causes. Tickets are now on sale.
A press release promises a “setlist packed with Springsteen classics and deep cuts, delivered with Azaria’s unique flair and the band’s top-notch musicianship.”
“I’ve never worked harder preparing for any role than I did in perfecting a singing vocal impression of Bruce,” Azaria said in a statement. “I can’t think of a better way to spend my time and use my passion for voices than playing these songs for a crowd that loves them and lovingly tribute Bruce, while raising money for folks who need it.”
Azaria is best known as the voice of Moe, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, and countless other characters on The Simpsons, as well as the star of IFC’s Brockmire.
As for the actual Bruce Springsteen, he is currently galavanting around Europe with the E Street Band. He’ll be back in the states later this summer for a run of stadium shows. Fans who don’t already have tickets can pick them up here.
