Over the weekend, E-Street Band’s Stevie Van Zandt, and his brother, playwright Billy Van Zandt, were both honored with a street dedication in their hometown of Middletown Township, New Jersey.
Once known as Wilson Avenue… Van Zandt Way is the street the brothers grew up on.
Stevie Van Zandt said: “I know our parents are here in spirit, but I’d love to see the looks on their faces because no one would be more surprised than them.”
Beyond his musical endeavors, his portrayal of Silvio Dante in the Emmy-award-winning HBO series, The Sopranos, earned Stevie multiple Screen Actors Guild Awards and an Emmy nomination. He’s also a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the New Jersey Hall of Fame.
Billy Van Zandt is a playwright, actor, director, and producer and wrote the best-selling TV memoir, Get in the Car, Jane (Adventures in the TV Wasteland) and was nominated for an Emmy, for his television special I Love Lucy: The Very First Show.
