David Sancious is an American Rock & Roll HOF musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist known mainly for playing keyboards and guitar.
David, in the early 1970’s, was living in Belmar with his mother, Stella Sancious.
David was into the Asbury Park music scene. It’s where he met Bruce Springsteen. Bruce put together a new band, including David. In the band's early days, Springsteen and his bandmates used Stella Sancious’s garage at 1107 E Street to practice.
The name stuck.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band were eventually inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
