Bruce Springsteen will play songs about summer on his 12th SiriusXM DJ show, Sept. 16.
Bruce Springsteen’s 12th DJ show on SiriusXM satellite radio will be titled “Summer’s End” and devoted to marking the end of summer. It will feature “legendary summer songs from John Prine, The Beach Boys, The Drifters, Van Morrison, and more,” according to a post on the SiriusXM blog.
It will debut Sept. 16 at 10 a.m.
“While all listeners may not be tuning in from the garden state, the music legend’s commentary alongside classic seasonal anthems will remind everyone that down the shore everything is all right,” the post says.
You can read transcripts of what Springsteen has said on the previous 11 shows, and see YouTube videos of all the songs he has played, via these links:

Springsteen has been doing these shows regularly for more than five months.
The shows have lasted between 70 minutes and two hours each, and are being broadcast on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio channel (channel 20), with repeats and on-demand availability following the initial broadcast. “Summer’s End” will also air Sept. 16 at 6 p.m.; Sept. 17 at 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.; Sept. 18 at 10 a.m., 4 p.m. and midnight; Sept. 19 at 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.; Sept. 20 at 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.; Sept. 21 at 7 a.m., 4 p.m. and midnight; and Sept. 22 at 8 a.m.
