Words and Music with

Saturday May 10
Conor Hall 8.00pm


Wow. As one of the pioneers of the New York City Punk scene, Patti Smith has been creating her unique blend of poetic rock n’ roll for over a quarter-century.

From her first independent single in 1974, “Hey Joe/Piss Factory,” to her 2000 Grammy-nominated “Glitter In Their Eyes,” her intensity, her passion for music and art has created an unequalled body of work.

The 70’s witnessed a handful of seminal classic albums with guitarist Lenny Kaye including Horses (“Gloria,” “Free Money”) and Easter (“Because the Night,” “Ghost Dance”).

Throughout the late eighties and nineties, Smith not only has written more and more beautiful music, she also authored a number of books containing original poetry and artwork.

In 2002, Smith released LAND, a 2-disc collection of fan favorites, live performances, rare/
unreleased works, and demos including the much sought after “Piss Factory.”
