Phoebe Bridgers stopped by Asbury Park to perform there for the first time since 2018 - and once again the GRAMMY nominee (and SiriusXM host) paid tribute to New Jersey legend Bruce Springsteen by covering one of his songs.

During the encore of her 16-song set at the storied Stone Pony, Bridgers performed The Boss's "Stolen Car," one of the many tracks on his album The River (1980). The 27-year-old indie star performed favorites from her first two albums, Stranger in the Alps and GRAMMY-nominated Punisher, before beginning to gently strum the Springsteen track and mentioning she was inspired by Patty Griffin's rendition of the song, which the artist recorded for her 2002 record, 1000 Kisses. Bridgers previously covered Springsteen's "I'm On Fire" in Asbury Park in 2018.

Watch Bridgers's "Stolen Car" cover below, and check out her monthly show, Saddest Factory Radio, exclusively on SiriusXM.

Saddest Factory Radio airs on the first Thursday of each month at 6pm ET with additional encores on the following Friday at 10am ET, Saturday at 3pm ET, Sunday at 6pm ET and Tuesday at 12am ET.
