Steven Van Zandt Adds Another Career to His Portfolio

Never one to rest on his laurels, Steven Van Zandt is the guitarist for Bruce Springsteen's E-Street band, an actor on HBO's hit drama, The Sopranos, hosts a nationally syndicated "Underground Garage" radio program, and is head of his own channel on Sirius Satellite Radio. If that wasn't enough, last week, he announced that he will now be heading up his own record label, Wicked Cool Records. No rest for the weary, that's for sure.

"Right now, it's 100 percent [me]," said Van Zandt. "It's a very personal thing. ... It's my own taste, my own personality, and we're not pretending otherwise. We're not doing any marketing surveys. If I dig it, I'm going to try and support it. The label did evolve out of the radio show. There's a lot of bands these days. A lot of the bands came to us and said they needed a little help."

He'll have to practice juggling soon, since he's starting filming of the final three episodes of "The Sopranos."
