Vivienne Patricia "Patti" Scialfa ("SKAL-fah") (born July 29, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for being a bandmate and wife of Bruce Springsteen.
Music career
While in college, Scialfa was submitting original material to other artists in the hope that it would be recorded. However, none of her songs were recorded and after graduating, Scialfa worked as a busker and waitress in Greenwich Village. Together with Soozie Tyrell and Lisa Lowell, she formed a street group known as Trickster. For many years, she struggled to make her way in the songwriting and recording industry in New York and New Jersey before playing at Kenny’s Castaway in Greenwich Village, as well as Asbury Park's The Stone Pony. Scialfa had a brief role in The Stone Pony's house band Cats on a Smooth Surface. These gigs won her notice and, eventually, recording work with Southside Johnny and David Johansen.
Patti Scialfa news
Seems that people really dig the idea of a bald beauty queen. After we wrote about Miss Virginia Tara Wheeler three weeks ago, there was a groundswell of interest in her unlikely mission -- a promise to shave her head if she could raise $500,000 for pediatric cancer research.
