It’s quite a delight when a multitalented and versatile artist has had a lengthy career to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a timeless album. This year is the golden jubilee for Patti Smith’s album, Horses, which was produced by The Velvet Underground, and she will be performing twenty-one shows in Europe and America later this year to honor this milestone.
Patti Smith, renowned not only for her powerful music but also her captivating memoirs such as “Just Kids” and “Year Of The Monkey,” has served as a generational voice for multiple generations. While she is most famously recognized for her Horses album, which debuted in December 1975.
At these groundbreaking performances, two individuals from the original band that produced it will join her: Lenny Kaye on the guitar and Jay Dee Daugherty on drums. Additionally, keyboardist/bassist Tony Shanahan and her son Jackson, who plays the guitar, will also take part in the music-making alongside them at these significant events.
Patti Smith is an artist who has aged gracefully and continues to have a large cultural impact
Smith, a frequent Instagram poster with her distinctive “This is…” captions, embodies the spirit of a versatile artist who excels in songwriting, poetry, and novel-writing. Embracing both the creativity and accountability inherent in being a free-thinking and socially aware artist, she also passionately promotes other artists, extending her support to figures spanning from Renaissance painters to modern punk musicians.
The performances are expected to quickly run out of tickets since she’s set to perform at medium-sized stages and theatres across both Europe (in October) and the US (in November).
In recent years, Patti Smith is particularly renowned for her powerful live renditions of the song “People Have The Power.” Not one to avoid political discourse, both on and off stage, her artistic work has grown into a form of global significance.
Patti Smith is best known today for her dynamic performances of the song “People Have The Power,” and she’s never hesitated to tackle politics in her art, be it on or off stage. Her creative output has transcended into something universally impactful.
This year on November 4th, she is set to publish a new memoir titled “Bread of Angels“. This publication by Random House delves into her experiences growing up in working-class Philadelphia and New Jersey, her marriage to Fred “Sonic” Smith, and her subsequent move to Lake Saint Clair in Michigan to bring up her family and mourn the loss of her husband in 1994.
Looks like it’s gonna be quite the year for Patti Smith and for those who love her.
