Patti Scialfa Career

Music career

While in college at the University of Miami and later at New York University, Scialfa began recording original music for other artists. However, none of her songs were recorded.

After her college graduation, she worked as a busker and waitress in Greenwich Village. Together with Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell, she formed a street group known as Trickster. For many years, she struggled to make her way in the songwriting and recording industry in New York City and New Jersey before playing at Folk City and Kenny's Castaways in Greenwich Village and The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Scialfa had a brief role in The Stone Pony's house band Cats on a Smooth Surface. These gigs won her notice and, eventually, recording work with Southside Johnny and David Johansen.

In 1984, Scialfa joined the E Street Band, three or four days before the opening show of the Born in the U.S.A. Tour. In 1986, she appeared on the Rolling Stones' Dirty Work album, leaving her vocal mark on "One Hit (To the Body)" as well as other tracks. She worked with Keith Richards on his first solo album Talk is Cheap. Steve Jordan, who co-produced the Richards record, was a friend of Scialfa's from her Greenwich Village days.

Scialfa's music industry friendships with Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell are long-standing, pre-dating their mutual work as background vocalists and musicians on the 1987 Buster Poindexter album, featuring a Soca song by Arrow, "Hot Hot Hot"). Lowell and Tyrell have since worked on various Springsteen-Scialfa recording projects and Tyrell, a violinist, has recorded and toured with Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Scialfa has recorded three solo albums, 1993's Rumble Doll, 2004's 23rd Street Lullaby and 2007's Play It As It Lays. Her first two albums received four-star reviews from Rolling Stone, while the third received three and a half stars. Her records are a mix of confessional songwriting, impressive vocal range, and traditional country, folk and rock music. Springsteen and fellow E Street bandmates, like Nils Lofgren and Roy Bittan have contributed to her albums. Following the release of Scialfa's second album, she played a series of club dates on the East Coast and was the opening act of the post-final night of the Vote for Change tour.

In 2009 and again in 2011, Scialfa confirmed that she had written most of the songs for her fourth album and was trying to find the time to record it.

On Sunday at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, New Jersey, the 15th annual induction ceremony was held. Bruce Springsteen, a legendary rocker, was instrumental in the inducting of Scialfa, who is not only his wife but also a member of his long-time support group The E Street Band. David Chase, 78, who is best known for his work on the legendary HBO drama series The Sopranos, was also one of the inductees. Steven Van Zandt, a member of The Sopranos, was on hand to present Chase with the highest private accolade bestowed to a New Jersey resident.

VIEWER: Bruce Springsteen, 73, was forced to delay shows and get well by his wife and doctors, so'something worse doesn't happen' in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease - according to the diagnosis

The Born to Run rocker, 73, was supposed to appear in eight dates around the country in September but decided against it because "symptoms of peptic ulcer disease" were missing. Now, a Springsteen source has shared how his wife Patti Scialfa (seen together right), his doctors, and his E Street bandmates all helped him to avoid his shows and concentrate on his recovery because if he didn't take the time to recover, his health will get worse.

Lucinda Williams has returned to work: Stories From a RockNRoll Heart

ADRIAN THRILLS: You can often determine a singer by the company they keep. Lucinda Williams' credentials, on that score, are unsurpassed. On Robert Plant's last record with Alison Krauss in 2021, the Louisiana singer appeared regularly with the late Tom Petty and provided backing vocals. Bruce Springsteen and his partner Patti Scialfa are on her 16th solo album, out today. It's easy to see why she attracts the most coveted titles. She started out as a country artist, but her biker boots, leather jackets, and road-hardened rock 'n' roll struggled to triumph over the Nashville establishment, but she soon discovered her niche in beautifully crafted Americana.
