Suzanne Vega

Suzanne will be joined on stage by her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard, performing a career-spanning show including favorites like Tom’s Diner, Luka, and more!

Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega’s latest album, An Evening of New York Songs and Stories, is out now via Amanuensis/Cooking Vinyl. “I recorded these songs at the  Café Carlyle in New York City,” Vega says of the album.  “It’s a small, exclusive club that has hosted legends from  Eartha Kitt to Judy Collins, and is also known to be the place  where Jackie Kennedy met Audrey Hepburn. I love it for its bohemian old-world glamour! I included songs that were  inspired by New York City or for which New York provided  the backdrop, including “Walk on the Wild Side” by my  late, great friend, Lou Reed—a song I rarely heard him sing  himself.”

An Evening of New York Songs and Stories finds Vega backed  by longtime guitarist and musical director Gerry Leonard,  bassist Jeff Allen and keyboardist Jamie Edwards.  Produced by Leonard, mixed by Grammy Award-winning  engineer Kevin Killen and mastered by Grammy Award  winner Bob Ludwig, the album was recorded in early 2019  and includes familiar songs like “Luka” and “Tom’s Diner”  and deep cuts from Vega’s catalog including “Frank and Ava”  and “Ludlow Street.” The mix of repertoire also features  “New York Is My Destination” from Lover, Beloved: Songs  from an Evening with Carson McCullers, Vega’s 2016 album  from her one-woman play about the Southern gothic novelist  Carson McCullers.
