Bruce Springsteen is a well-recognized face to music fans around the globe and to those who are in the music industry. The American singer, songwriter, and musician Springsteen is both a solo artist and a part of the E Street Band. He received good reviews for his early 1970s albums and gained fame worldwide after releasing his third album, Born to Run, in 1975. His musical career has crossed over half-a-century and still, there is no sign of him slowing down. Nicknamed The Boss, Springsteen is mainly popular for his energetic stage performances and poetic, socially conscious lyrics that address the working-class American’s struggles.
The Glory Days singer Bruce Springsteen is the eldest son of Douglas Frederick Springsteen and Adele Ann Springsteen. While Springsteen’s dad, Douglas, had mental health problems throughout his life, his mom, Adele, was the main breadwinner of his family. She took care of Bruce and his siblings after Douglas’s death in 1998. Here’s more about Bruce Springsteen’s mother, Adele Ann Springsteen.
Originally From The Bay Ridge
The legendary musician, Bruce Springsteen’s parents, raised him in Freehold, New Jersey, residing on South Street. However, you might be surprised after knowing that Bruce Springsteen’s mother, Adele Ann Springsteen, is not originally from New Jersey. While appearing on an episode of The Jimmy Kimmel Show in 2019, Bruce revealed that his mom’s family is from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.
Bruce Springsteen’s mother, Adele Ann (then Adele Zerilli), was born on 4 May 1925 in Brooklyn. While writing about Bruce Springsteen’s Bay Ridge roots on The One and Only Bay Ridge Facebook page, James McCormack mentioned that Adele resided on Bay Ridge Parkway with her family until 1940. Later, Adele, with her parents and sisters, relocated to Freehold, New Jersey, where she found her future husband, Douglas Springsteen.
Hence, though Adele Ann Springsteen stayed with her husband and family in Freehold, New Jersey, her hometown is actually Bay Ridge. She was ‘Born To Run’ in Brooklyn.

She attended her favorite, Eddie Testa Band’s performance at the Wonder Bar, located in Asbury Park, with her celebrity son, Bruce. She and her son swayed to Eddie and his crew for a couple of songs. Her grandson, Sam, had also accompanied them on that special occasion.
