Stereogum — Last night Bruce Springsteen stopped by Asbury Park's Light Of Day WinterFest for an unannounced appearance. (I hesitate to call it a "surprise appearance," because the Boss has popped up at 13 of the previous 25 iterations of the New Jersey festival, including last year's.) The main event, nicknamed "Bob's Birthday Bash," was headlined by Joe Grushecky & The Houserockers, who brought out Springsteen to perform with them. He took the opportunity to condemn the ongoing ICE raids in Minneapolis, dedicating a song to Renee Good, the civilian murdered by ICE agent Jonathan Ross earlier this month.
