Chrissie Hynde, Susanna Hoffs and more have been added to the star-studded Patti Smith tribute concert in New York in March
The Pretenders’ Chrissie Hynde, director Jim Jarmusch, former Bangles frontperson Susanna Hoffs, Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard and New York rocker Jesse Malin have been added to an already eclectic list of singers and musicians partaking in “People Have the Power: Celebrating the Music of Patti Smith” at Carnegie Hall on March 26th. The initial list of participants, spanning alt rock, classical and current indie, included Michael Stipe, Sharon Van Etten, Matt Berninger of the National, Karen O, Kim Gordon, Ben Harper, Courtney Barnett, the Kronos Quartet, Angel Olsen, and the Kills’ Alison Mosshart. The house band has also been expanded: former Heartbreakers keyboardist Benmont Tech and guitarist Charlie Sexton will now be joining Flea, Smith’s bassist-keyboardist Tony Shanahan, and drummer Steve Jordan to back all the singers.
