If there's one thing we all know for sure, it's that Bruce Springsteen loves New Jersey - and given his past history, he loves making surprise appearances. He gave a little love back to his home state over the weekend when he surprised fans with a two-hour gig at a local bar.

The Boss showed up 15 minutes into Joe Grushecky and the Houserockers' show Saturday night at Asbury Park's Wonder Bar and played 15 songs with the band. Springsteen and Gruschecky go way back- Bruce produced Grushecky's 1995 album, "American Babylon."

Wonder Bar holds 300 people and thanks to social media, it wasn't long before the place was packed and fans tried to hear what was going on from the street. Check out some fan shot footage of the show to the right.
