Lenny Kaye

Musician, writer, and record producer Lenny Kaye has been a guitarist for poet-rocker Patti Smith since her band’s inception more than 40 years ago. He has worked in the studio with such artists as Suzanne Vega, Jim Carroll, Soul Asylum, Kristen Hersh, and Allen Ginsberg, as well as his own solo muse. His seminal anthology of ’60s garage-rock, Nuggets, has long been regarded as defining a genre. You can visit him online here.
