Artista poliedrica, coerente e idealista, indiscusso mito del rock per tutte le generazioni, la sacerdotessa del rock Patti Smith tornerà in Italia il primo dicembre, data di debutto nazionale.

THE (PATTI) SMITHS vedrà infatti per la prima volta sul palco insieme, in un imperdibile concerto acustico, la famiglia Smith al gran completo: Patti, i figli Jesse Paris e Jackson, oltre al fidato Tony Shanahan. I grandi classici dell’artista newyorkese verranno eseguiti quindi in un’inedita formazione a quattro.

Erano gli anni ’60 quando la giovanissima Patti Smith, poco più che ventenne, si trasferì nella vibrante New York per trovare la sua strada. Il resto è storia: dalla chiacchierata relazione con il fotografo Robert Mapplethorpe il cui racconto in “Just Kids” le ha guadagnato il prestigiosissimo National Book Award, alle primissime esibizioni nello storico CBGB’s, fino al contratto con la Arista e la pubblicazione di “Horses”, uno dei migliori album rock della storia.

Patti Smith si è conquistata di diritto un posto nell’olimpo delle leggende del rock.

Senza dubbio tra gli artisti più influenti di sempre, cantautrice e poetessa di enorme talento, Patti viene spesso citata da illustri colleghi come grande fonte di ispirazione. Brani come “People Have The Power”, “Gloria” (cover del brano dei Them di Van Morrison), “Dancing Barefoot” e “Because The Night” (scritta insieme a Bruce Springsteen) sono vere e proprie pietre miliari della musica e dell’immaginario collettivo.

THE PATTY SMITHS - Biografia

Patti Smith, born in Chicago and raised in South Jersey, migrated to New York in 1967.

In 1975 Patti Smith’s first recording, Horses, was inducted into the National Recording Registry in 2010 at The Library of Congress by the National Recording Preservation Board. Her subsequent albums are Radio Ethiopia, Easter, and Wave, Dream of Life, Gone Again, Peace and Noise, Gung Ho, trampin, Land, twelve, and most currently, Banga.

Author of the acclaimed memoir, Just Kids, which chronicled her friendship and journey in art with photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, Patti Smith was awarded the 2010 National Book Award.  Her other books include Witt, Babel, Coral Sea, Woolgathering, and Auguries of Innocence.

Patti Smith’s art has been exhibited at galleries and museums worldwide. Represented by the Robert Miller Gallery in New York since 1978, her exhibitions include Strange Messenger, Land 250, and Camera Solo.  Steven Sebring’s 2008 documentary, dream of life: the movie, was acknowledged internationally and received an Emmy nomination.

As well as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, Patti Smith also holds the honor of  “Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres from the French Ministry of Culture, and has been awarded honorary doctorates from Rowan State University, Pratt Institute of Art, and the School of Art Institute Chicago.  Patti Smith was honored by ASCAP with the Founders Award, representing lifetime achievement, and the recipient of Sweden’s Polar Award that is an international acknowledgement for significant achievements in music.

On February 7, 2013, Smith was awarded the Katharine Hepburn Medal from Bryn Mawr College, which recognizes women whose lives, work and contributions embody the same drive and accomplishments as the four-time winning actress.  On May 18, 2014, Barnard College Board of Trustees will present Patti Smith with their Medal of Distinction that honors individuals who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in their communities, and their careers.

Patti Smith continues to write, perform readings, work on artistic projects, and lends support for human right issues. She and her band are continually touring worldwide and preparing for future recording projects.  Current tour dates and other information is posted on pattismith.net
