Lenny Kaye
**Lenny Kaye**
As musician, writer, and record producer, Lenny Kaye has been intimately involved with the creative impulse that marks the music. He is a founding member of Patti Smith and Her Band, dating from their first performance as a duo at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery in New York’s East Village on February 10, 1971, and has produced such artists as Suzanne Vega, Jim Carroll, Allen Ginsberg, Soul Asylum, Kristin Hersh, Pussy Riot, James, and Jessi Colter.
His books include You Call It Madness: The Sensuous Song of the Croon (2004); Waylon: An Autobiography (1994); and Lightning Striking: Ten Transformative Moments in Rock and Roll (2022).
His seminal anthology of garage rock, Nuggets: Original Artyfacts of the First Psychedelic Era, is regarded as defining a genre and recently celebrated its golden anniversary.
In 2011, France honored him with the distinction of Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Lenny’s debut solo album, Goin' Local, will be released on \[Yep Roc Records\](https://yeproc.com?utm_source=chatgpt.com) on July 17.
