“Once Bruce and I got together, I wanted to have a real relationship that was going to create a family and a beautiful, emotional environment. “You can’t do it all, whatever it is,” she says. Although the record received rave reviews, she wasn’t willing to fully promote it by touring or traveling because she faced the prospect of having three children in diapers. In 1993, she released her debut solo CD, Rumble Doll, when she was six months pregnant with her third child. We don’t book anything until we go over the kids’ schedules and make sure we are home for the plays and things like that.” “To really say, ‘Look, the kids come first,’ and get it out on the table is important when the decisions come along, like when we’ll tour. “Bruce and I set the first priority in the children,” says Scialfa of sons Evan, 14, and Sam, 10, and daughter Jessica, 12. The two fell in love and married in 1991, and her solo career took a backseat to her marriage and family. Three years later, she was offered a solo record deal, but Springsteen called and asked her to join his upcoming tour. In the 1980s, she recorded or performed with the Rolling Stones, Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes, and Buster Poindexter before joining Springsteen’s E Street Band in 1984.
Scialfa (pronounced SKAL-fah) remains one of the most respected women in music for her folk-rock influenced singing, writing and guitar-playing. Scialfa, 51, considered the first lady of rock ’n’ roll because she’s married to music legend Bruce Springsteen, follows the philosophy of another first lady, the late Jacqueline Kennedy, who once said, “If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do well matters very much.” Rock singer Patti Scialfa could have been a household name, but she decided to be a good mother instead.
