Known as New Jersey's most famous consigliere to Bruce Springsteen and Tony Soprano, actor, activist, and rock 'n' roll icon Stevie Van Zandt rose from playing the clubs of Asbury Park to arena stadiums, the Bada Bing Club, and the Underground Garage. Tracing his career as a producer, musician, songwriter, and more, this revealing film explores the many facets of Van Zandt, including his vital collaborations on many Springsteen albums, his departure from the E Street Band, his work as front man of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, and his role in bringing awareness to South African Apartheid. A portrait of a true renaissance man, the documentary illuminates the influential and enduring legacy of an artist as he continues to champion both rock 'n' roll and social justice.
