Patti Smith To celebrate the 30th anniversary of her classic debut, Patti Smith and her band (Lenny Kaye, Jay Dee Daugherty, Tony Shanahan, and Tom Verlaine), along with special guest Flea, will perform the entirety of “Horses.” Wednesday and Thursday at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (30 Lafayette Avenue, 718-636-4100).
Lady Sovereign This 19-year-old white girl had everyone convinced she was a tough, sardonic grime princess until she went and signed with Jay-Z’s Island/Def Jam label for her debut EP, “Vertically Challenged.” Songs like “Ch-Ching” are nice examples of music that remains Dizzee Rascal’s specialty, but it’s too early to say where her career is headed. Wednesday at Knitting Factory (74 Leonard Street, 212-219-3132).
Haley Bonar Having finished recording a new album at Minnesota’s Pachyderm studios in October, singer-songwriter Haley Bonar is now on tour with bassist Chris Morrissey. If the new album, which doesn’t have a release date yet, is anything like 2003’s “The Size of Planets,” we can look forward to charmingly countrified pop songs that recall a much mellower Lucinda Williams. Friday at Pianos (158 Ludlow Street, 212-505-3733).
Also, the Dandy Warhols tonight at Webster Hall (125 E. 11th Street, 212-353-1600); Bonnie Raitt on Thursday at Beacon Theater (2124 Broadway, 212-496-7070); Dinosaur Jr. on Friday and Saturday at Irving Plaza (17 Irving Place, 212-777-6800); Bob Mould on Saturday at Northsix (66 N. 6th Street, Brooklyn, 718-599-5103).
