Patti Scialfa - Play It As It Lays

Vivienne Patricia "Patti" Scialfa ("Skal-fa") (born July 29, 1953) is an American singer, songwriter, and guitarist, best known for being a bandmate, and later wife, of rock star Bruce Springsteen.

FROM WIKIPEDIA

According to some of Springsteen's biographers, Scialfa and Springsteen were briefly involved during the 1984 Born in the USA tour, a relationship that ended shortly after Springsteen met future wife Julianne Phillips.

During the 1988 Tunnel of Love Express tour, Scialfa took a central role in the sexually-charged stage performances, such as for "You Can Look (But You Better Not Touch)", thereby displacing Springsteen's traditional on-stage foil, saxophonist Clarence Clemons. Springsteen and Scialfa were later pictured together in tabloid photographs on a hotel balcony. Springsteen was married at the time to model Julianne Phillips.

Springsteen's divorce from Phillips was finalized in 1989. On June 8, 1991 Springsteen and Scialfa married. They have three children: Evan James (born 1990); Jessica Rae (1991); and Samuel Ryan (1994).

When Springsteen decided to retire the E Street Band in 1989 and record and tour with a new session band, Scialfa suffered the fallout.[2] Clarence Clemons, for one, not so inconspicuously suggested that bands "shouldn't let girls join" when asked by Rolling Stone magazine for an explanation behind Springsteen's decision.[3]

The Springsteen-Scialfa union weathered the initial media attention and their partnership in music and life is seen as one of the strongest in the entertainment world. Nevertheless, Scialfa has been forced to tolerate, if not overcome, the impression that her own career as a lead singer is a result of her marriage to Springsteen and not a result of her own talent. She might be best known as the woman who inspired Springsteen to write (the bawdy) "Red Headed Woman". He also dedicates his famous cover of Tom Waits' "Jersey Girl" to her in concert (although his initial performances of the song pre-date his relationship with her).

Scialfa, Springsteen, and their children live in Rumson and Colts Neck in New Jersey. Scialfa is most recently a member of Springsteen's Seeger Sessions Band (where she is reunited with Lisa Lowell). On that Seeger Sessions Band Tour, as on tours since 1999–2000's Reunion Tour, she sometimes misses shows or stretches of shows to return home and take care of the couple's children. As Springsteen once told a Rotterdam audience in 2003 during The Rising Tour, when she began a five-show absence, "Patti sends her regards, she couldn't be here. The kids need her more right now than the band"[4]

During the Springsteen and the E Street Band's 2007 Magic Tour, Scialfa achieved a breakthrough of sorts when for the first time one of her songs, "Town Called Heartbreak", was played in its entirety during the set.[5]
