Blink and you may miss them. Two members of Greta Van Fleet are in, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” starring Jeremy Allen White as “The Boss.”
According to Billboard, two members of the rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan are in the movie, and on the film’s soundtrack.
Gary Graff reports Jake (guitar) and Sam Kiszka (bass) are part of a local band in the film playing with Springsteen at the Stone Pony in New Jersey.
The other members of the band, Graff reports, are portrayed by Jay Buchanan of Rival Sons, Bobby Emmett from Jack White’s band on keys, and drummer Aksel Coe.
Their recordings of Little Richard’s “Lucille” and John Lee Hooker’s “Boom Boom” are on the movie soundtrack.
The rockers from Frankenmuth are also playing on a recording of, “I Put a Spell on You,” the last song on the soundtrack.
Graff asked Jake and Sam Kiszka how they landed roles in the film.
Jake told Graff that Dave Cobb, who produced the last Greta album and Jake’s current Mirador band album, told them the director, Scott Cooper, was working on “Deliver Me From Nowhere” and wanted to put together a house band for the Stone Pony in the film like Greta Van Fleet.
Kiszka says Cobb told Cooper to just ask them, and the rest is history as Jake is on guitar and Sam is on bass in the film.
The entire 12-song soundtrack are new recordings all featuring White, on vocals. The soundtrack also includes, “Born in the U.S.A.” and “I’m on Fire.”
