Jake Clemons had some big shoes to fill. 

The musician replaced his late uncle Clarence Clemons as the sax player in Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, but he's an artist in his own right, too. 

Today on the show, Clemons speaks to guest host Ali Hassan about his uncle, performing in living rooms and stadiums, plus his latest solo album, Fear & Love.
