Our friends Amy & Emily headed out to see celebrated Patti Smith play the sold-out Parkway Theater, in Minneapolis, on March 14, 2026. The event was so successful that the Parkway added a second show (set for today, March 15), which also easily sold out.

Smith is currently doing a book tour for her memoir Bread of Angels, doing a Q&A, stories, book reading at the tiny Magers & Quinn book store the day before (March 13). The book offers glimpse of her life, artistic freedom, grief, gratitude, recording of her iconic albums such as Horses and Wave.

The intimate concert at the Parkway was basically a concert with reading excerpts from her book. She is joined on stage by long-time band member Tony Shanahan on bass and keyboards and her son, guitarist Jackson Smith.

If you’re lucky enough to have a ticket, Smith is playing again tonight at the Parkway.
