Poet, performer, visual artist and rock-and-roll icon Patti Smith joins us on this week’s encore broadcast of Mountain Stage.
Here she performs “People Have The Power,” the driving anthem co-written with her husband Fred “Sonic” Smith, a native of Lincoln County, W.Va. who was posthumously inducted into the WV Music Hall of Fame the evening prior to this performance in 2018.
Smith performs the song with a band that includes her longtime collaborator and guitarist Lenny Kaye, her son Jackson Smith on guitar, daughter Jesse Paris-Smith on piano, along with Mountain Stage Band members Ammed Solomon on drums and Steve Hill on bass.
You can hear Patti Smith & Family’s entire performance, plus sets from Van William, Mollie O’Brien & Rich Moore feat. Lucy & Brigid Moore, Robbie Fulks, and a special Tribute to Little Jimmy Dickens featuring Tim O’Brien, Charlie McCoy, and more, on this week’s encore episode of Mountain Stage.
Check out the playlist and find out where you can listen to this week’s special encore episode of Mountain Stage.
We’re getting back into the swing with live shows again, so you should sign up for our email updates to be among the first to know our on-sale schedule so you can plan your trip to #AlmostHeaven.
