Jake Clemons is a songwriter, saxophonist and guitarist who released an EP titled “It’s On” last year.

Trombonist Clark Gayton and trumpeter Curt Ramm will also return to the E Street Band’s brass and woodwind section, along with trumpeter Barry Danelian who played with Springsteen at the Carousel House show in Asbury Park in December 2010.
