Jake Clemons is enjoying being his own boss
JAKE Clemons has a special relationship with Ireland. It was at the RDS in Dublin in 2009 that he played saxophone with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band for the first time. Four years later, touring Cork, Limerick, and Kilkenny, he was introduced as a permanent member of Springsteen’s regular touring ensemble, taking up the mantle of his greatly-mourned uncle Clarence Clemons on sax.
“In Dublin, I came on stage and performed with Clarence on ‘Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out’,” he recalls. “It was the first presentation of me in the E Street Band if you will.”
