there’s a “wintery mix” coming down, ice and snow and general yecch out there. It’s a good time to let you know that a warm-up favorite is available once again from Backstreet Records: the E Street Band “hoodie” is back! This is an official hooded sweatshirt from the Rising tour, and it’s been a hard one to keep in stock — we sold out of our last supply a few weeks before Christmas. But more have just arrived, classic sweatshirt gray in sizes Medium through XXL, ready to keep the chill at bay. Check it out in the Latest Arrivals section of our online shop
