Brooklyn folk singer Aoife O'Donovan is not only preparing for this weekend's Grammy Awards, but a new tour featuring her own recordings of Bruce Springsteen classics. JohnBDias shares her story:
CBS2 recently caught up with a singer from Brooklyn who has not just been preparing for the award ceremony, but also a major tour to honor a rock icon.
While the Brooklyn singer has become a star on her own accord, she is looking to pay tribute to a legend and a local favorite,"I am a gigantic fan of The Boss. Who isn't?" O'Donovan said."People think of him as a rock star, and that he is of course, but he is also truly an incredible storyteller.
"There is a different sort of heaviness to it. You're carrying the torch for somebody else," O'Donovan said.
