Musichead Gallery is proud to present Jersey Poets, a group exhibition of photographs celebrating Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith, two visionary artists who emerged from New Jersey to redefine the relationship between music, language, and image. Featuring work by Adrian Boot, Allan Tannenbaum, Bob Gruen, Danny Clinch, David Gahr, David Rose, Frank Stefanko, Lynn Goldsmith, Neil Zlozower, Norman Seeff, Steve Rapport, and Terry O’Neill, the exhibition brings together portraits and performance photographs that explore how both artists transformed rock and roll into a form of storytelling, spiritual reflection, and personal expression. While Springsteen and Smith share geographic and generational roots, their creative trajectories reveal distinct approaches to truth and transcendence. Springsteen’s narratives of working-class perseverance echo the rhythms of small-town America, while Smith’s poetic and avant-garde sensibility gave voice to the intellectual and emotional edges of punk. On view are photographs that trace their parallel journeys, capturing moments of performance, collaboration, and persona that illuminate the dynamic balance between realism and symbolism, individuality and community, sound and vision. The exhibition coincides with the release of Bruce Springsteen’s biopic Deliver Us From Nowhere, the publication of Patti Smith’s memoir Bread of Angels, and her performance at Walt Disney Concert Hall. Both artists also mark the 50th anniversaries of their debut albums Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. and Horses. Through these photographs, Jersey Poets invites viewers to reflect on how two singular voices continue to influence the cultural and visual language of modern music. We invite you to experience Jersey Poets, where music and photography meet to tell the stories of Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith, their roots, their visions, and their enduring impact on culture.
