TULSA, OK "Bruce Springsteen: A Photographic Journey," a traveling photography exhibition curated by the GRAMMY Museum Los Angeles, will debut in Tulsa at The Woody Guthrie Center, 102 E. Brady St. The exhibition, which will open on April 29, 2014, features 45 iconic images of Bruce Springsteen. On display until the spring of 2015, the exhibit serves to document a great American music legend, and will feature photos taken by noted Springsteen photographers Danny Clinch, Ed Gallucci, Eric Meola, Pamela Springsteen and Frank Stefanko.

Our goal with this exhibition is to define the career of Bruce Springsteen in an entirely new light, as captured by these five incredible photographers, said GRAMMY Museum executive director Bob Santelli. Each of these photographers was able to artfully document Bruces world, at different stages in his career. We are honored to partner with each of them in order to help tell the story of one of the most important figures in American music.

Bruce Springsteen's recording career spans more than 40 years, beginning with 1973's Columbia Records release Greetings from Asbury Park, NJ. He has released 18 studio albums, garnered 20 GRAMMY Awards, won an Oscar, has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, was a 2009 recipient of Kennedy Center Honors and was named 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year by The Recording Academy. Springsteens newest album High Hopes (Columbia) was released on January 14, 2014.

While the majority of the exhibit focuses on Springsteen off-stage, four additional live performance photographs, shot by Barry Schneier, will be showcased. These photos were shot during the now famous Springsteen concert at Harvard Square Theater where famed Rolling Stone music journalist Jon Landau claimed, I have seen the future of rock and roll, and its name is Bruce Springsteen.

Additionally, the exhibit will feature video interviews with each of the photographers, produced by The GRAMMY Museum. On the evening of the launch, each of the photographers will appear at the Woody Guthrie Center for a panel discussion and Q&A, hosted by Santelli. The debut of the exhibit coincides with the one-year anniversary of the opening of the Woody Guthrie Center.

We are thrilled to be kicking off our anniversary celebrations with this incredible exhibit featuring photographs spanning the career of Bruce Springsteen. He is an excellent example of an artist who continues the legacy of Woody Guthrie. The opening of this newly curated exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center is a perfect fit, said Deana McCloud, executive director.
