Jake Persofsky is a Philly-based keyboardist who’s been playing live music for over 20 years. He’s been part of just about every kind of show—club gigs, big festivals, full productions with symphonies, and everything in between. With Bruce in the USA, Jake covers the organ and synth chair, doing his best to keep the energy up and the E Street spirit intact every night.

He’s been working in the tribute world since 2011, including national tours with Legends in Concert and a stretch as both keyboardist and tour manager for a Michael Jackson tribute that played across the U.S., Germany, and Australia. He’s known for showing up prepared, playing with feel, and helping make the whole band sound better—whether it’s a last-minute fill-in or a long-haul run.

When he’s not on the road, Jake spends time arranging, programming, and helping other players troubleshoot their gear setups. But the stage is still where he’s most at home—locked in with the band, focused on the moment, and making sure the show hits the mark.
