Bruce Springsteen is one of the greats of international rock music.

With over 130 million records sold, the Oscar winner and 20-time Grammy award winner is one of the most successful musicians in the world. In his program "Thunder Road", songwriter Daniel Schmidgunst explores the stories behind the songs of "The Boss" and his path from working-class child to rock icon. With his intimate and pared-down performance, he proves once again why he is one of the most authentic Springsteen interpreters. A microphone, guitar, keyboard and saxophone - that's all he and his two musicians, Andreas König (piano) and Marie Birkholz (saxophone), need.
