New subscriptions will begin with the Spring 2007 issue, Backstreets #86

From the pre-E Street days to Bruce's latest performances, this one has something for everybody. In this issue:

The recent tribute to Springsteen at Carnegie Hall gets the cover and 8 pages inside, with exclusive photos of Bruce's surprise appearance as he brought Rosie to the dance.
On the occasion of Robert Santelli's Greetings From E Street book, we had Backstreets founder Charles R. Cross sit down and talk E Street and Jersey Shore music with the author, who was there when the scene took off.
While we save our Seeger Sessions tour wrap-up for next ish, Matt Orel takes a detailed look at the band's studio sessions, breaking it all down for The Making of American Land.
A feature on Marah includes a Q&A with the band that recently rocked it with Bruce at Light of Day 7, as well as interviewer Roderick Jones' own tale of fandom (which any Springsteen fan will relate to, we'll wager, even if Marah ain't your thing).
Plus: John Howie, Jr. takes a gander at Live in Dublin; reports and photos from the Ranney School benefits, the P.A.L.S. holiday show, and other recent gigs; interviews with Nils Lofgren, Southside Johnny, and Joe Grushecky; more Boss books; remembering Big Danny Gallagher, Bill Chinnock, and Bobby Alfano; reviews of the latest CD-Rs and Bruce boots, and more. 68 pages, full-color.

If you enjoy our website, we know you'll love the magazine, and subscribing is a great way to offer your support.

If you're not ready to commit, you can order a single copy of this issue.


Advertising in Backstreets Magazine

Backstreets is accepting advertising.
Now having published for a quarter-century, Backstreets magazine has provided the most in-depth coverage of the professional career of Bruce Springsteen, as well as coverage of other related artists from the Jersey Shore and beyond. The quarterly publication has won several awards for its design and editorial coverage, and MTV called it "the standard to which all others are compared." We combine features, commentary, and detailed concert reports with new product news and reviews.

Backstreets has a loyal readership nationwide (all 50 states) and internationally (more than 40 countries). Most readers are subscribers, but the magazine also has broad distribution by Ingram and IPD, from large book and record chains to mom and pop record stores.

While Backstreets magazine itself focuses on Bruce Springsteen, each quarterly issue reaches more than 15,000 hardcore music fans of all stripes (we currently print 17,000 copies). Backstreets readers tend to be well-educated, hardcore music-lovers in general: avid collectors, regular concert-goers, and musicians. Most Backstreets readers read the magazine the day it arrives and save their issues for future reference.

Backstreets is saddle-stitched and printed web offset with covers on 70 lb. gloss enamel and interior pages on 50 lb. gloss enamel.
