He expanded on that concept as leader of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, whose four 80s albums added a strong sociopolitical consciousness to the mix.

Van Zandt left the E Street Band in to concentrate on his own music, but rejoined in the mids. He's remained with Springsteen and company ever since, while following numerous other creative pursuits, musical and otherwise. He began his acting career on The Sopranos in , and in launched his long-running syndicated radio show Little Steven's Underground Garage.
