Hank Azaria, known for his iconic voice work on “The Simpsons,” is now on a mission to master a new voice: that of Bruce Springsteen. In an exclusive interview, the actor opened up about his emotional journey to embody the legendary musician with his new project, Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band.
Azaria’s obsession with Springsteen began when he was just a teenager, and he has been a fan ever since. He credits Springsteen’s music for helping him through difficult times and shaping his identity. Now, he is determined to pay tribute to the artist by perfecting his voice and performing his songs.
The idea for the EZ Street Band came to Azaria during the pandemic, when he found himself with more free time than usual. He started practicing Springsteen’s songs and realized that he could actually sing them. With the help of some musician friends, he formed the band and began performing at small venues.
But Azaria’s dedication to this project goes beyond just performing cover songs. He has turned down acting roles to focus on mastering Springsteen’s voice and embodying his stage presence. He even went as far as to take vocal lessons to improve his singing technique.
For Azaria, this project is not just about imitating Springsteen, but about truly understanding and connecting with his music. He has delved deep into the stories behind the songs and the emotions that Springsteen conveys through his music. He wants to capture the essence of Springsteen and bring it to life on stage.
The response to Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans of both Azaria and Springsteen have been flocking to their shows, eager to see the actor’s interpretation of the musician. And Azaria has been receiving praise for his dedication and talent in bringing Springsteen’s music to life.
But for Azaria, this project is not about fame or recognition. It’s about honoring an artist who has had a profound impact on his life. He hopes to continue performing as Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band for as long as possible, and to keep perfecting his Springsteen voice.
In a world where celebrity covers and tribute bands are a dime a dozen, Hank Azaria and the EZ Street Band stands out for its genuine passion and dedication. And for Azaria, that’s all that matters. As he continues on his journey to master Springsteen’s voice, he hopes to inspire others to connect with the music that has meant so much to him.
