Suzanne Vega
SUNDAY, APRIL 30, 2023 @ 7:30PM | FOLK | TICKETS $77/$67/$57 | VIP PACKAGES: $115 - $195
Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s when, accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, she sang what has been called contemporary folk or neo-folk songs of her own creation in Greenwich Village clubs. Notably succinct and understated, her work is immediately recognizable - as utterly distinct and thoughtful today, as it was when her voice was first heard on the radio over 30 years ago.
