The name of the band arose from the fact that one of the musicians at the time ( David Sancious ; keyboard) grew up on "E Street" in Belmar, New Jersey and the band was occasionally allowed to practice there in their mother's house.

In 2014, the E Street Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame .
