Event information

From the USA - legendary international soul icon

The show includes her 60's chart topping hits:

Be My Baby…Baby I Love You…Best Part of Breaking Up…Walking In The Rain…Is This What I Get For Loving You…

Plus songs from her latest album "Last of The Rock Stars" made in collaboration with Patti Smith and Keith Richards

Only a few artists in history have been capable of defining an entire era in pop music. Ronnie Spector is one of those artists: the embodiment of the heart, soul, and passion of female rock and roll in the 1960s. And to this day, no one has ever surpassed Ronnie's powerful trademark vocals, her gutsy attitude, or her innocent but knowing sexuality.

Ronnie Spector's new CD, Last of the Rock Stars, is simply the best and most-fully realized album of her career. For the first time ever, Ronnie is in full control of her material, arrangements, and production-which explains the remarkable warmth and vitality of her performances throughout the album. The supporting cast includes members of Ronnie's longtime touring band along with special guests Dennis Diken (the Smithereens), Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Patti Smith, and the one and only Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones.

Ronnie Comments On Tracks From The Last Of The Rock Stars
“All I Want” - Written by acclaimed singer/songwriter Amy Rigby. Keith Richards is heard on lead guitar.

“The Rolling Stones opened for the Ronettes on our first tour of the UK [in January 1964]. We traveled together in the same van. I remember times when the fog was so thick, we'd have to pull over-Keith and I would walk up to some stranger's house to ask for a cup of tea! So it's amazing to have Keith back with me now-our chemistry is really something else. To be in that studio together was like traveling 40 years back in time.”

“There Is An End” - Cincinnati garage-rock heroes the Greenhornes back Ronnie on this haunting track, featuring Patti Smith.
