The Press Room was holding a fundraiser for the family of Springsteen's longtime personal trainer, Tony Strollo, who died earlier this month at the age of 40. While Strollo's brother, singer-songwriter Michael Strollo took the stage and performed "Could Die Young Tonight", Springsteen backed him up with the acoustic guitar behind him for several songs. Local singer-songwriter Quincy Mumford tweeted "Bruce Springsteen just played my guitar, pretty dope."
