On Saturday, May 1, Patti Smith & longtime bandmates Lenny Kaye, J.D. Daugherty, Tony Shanahan & Oliver Ray will perform a benefit concert at New York City's Bowery Ballroom to benefit the Drug Policy Foundation. Prior to getting her start at New York City's CBGB's in the mid-1970s, Smith made a name for herself as a poet, and as an actress and playwright in underground theatre. In 1975, she released the critically acclaimed album, Horses, a classic still today. Since then she has recorded six other albums, including collaborations with Bruce Springsteen and REM's Michael Stipe, and recently published Complete, a collection of rare photos, song lyrics, and journal entries. Today she is considered to be one of the key figures in the history of American indie-rock.

The Bowery Ballroom is located at 6 Delancey Street, New York, NY 10002, (212) 533-2111. Tickets are $15.
