Some challenge - The Rising rose to the challenge!

Based in Central Scotland, the last 3 years have seen The Rising go from strength to strength, with ever growing popularity and a set-list that goes from "Badlands" to "Jungleland". The full back catalogue, the anthems, the hits, and a few rarities for the connoisseur are all there. A tribute no Springsteen fan would want to miss. With seven core musicians plus occasional guests, the energy and attention to detail is all you would expect from the Boss himself, whatever the venue, from the smallest intimate club gig to the largest town hall.
