Introduced as the Godfather of the Guitar, the Minister of Heart and Spirit, the great, great Nils Lofgren on the "Live in New York" album with Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band.
Joined the E-Street Band in May 1984.
Has a brother, Tom Lofgren.
Learned to play accordion from age 5-15.
He's left-handed, but plays the guitar with his right hand.
Is only able to play the guitar with a thumb pick instead of a flat pick. When he was 15, his brother showed him some chords. Nils knew nothing about the guitar, and when he found a thumb pick in the guitar case, he started using it.
