'Little' Steven Van Zandt reveals his Rock God

'Little' Steven Van Zandt is best known for playing guitar in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. However, he has many more strings to his bow. Solo artist, writer, actor and producer, he's not one to stand still for too long. Born in Massachusetts, he also co-founded Southside Johnny and the Asbury Dukes. After meeting and working with The Boss in the early 1970's, he eventually joined the E Street Band in 1975. 
More recently, Steven released a boxset of his early work at the end of 2019, called 'Rock n Roll Rebel - The Early Work'. He also released an album with his Disciples of Soul last May, called' Summer of Sorcery'. 
Elsewhere on the show, Johnnie will focus on the legacy of one of rock's most enigmatic frontmen for 'This Week In Rock' plus he's got some of 2020's best new rock releases.
