Kenny Ches­ney, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Emmy­lou Har­ris are just a hand­ful of stars who will cel­e­brate Bruce Spring­steen as the 2013 Musi­Cares Per­son of the Year. The spe­cial event will cel­e­brate Bruce’s artis­tic achieve­ments as well as his phil­an­thropic work. The “Doc­tor” is known for putting his soul into music and it is fit­ting that Kenny would high­light Bruce — since they have the same mentality.
