Summary:

uzanne Vega personifies the neo-folk revival with her beautifully crafted, literate songs. She created an international sensation with her hits, “Luka,” “Tom’s Diner” and “Marlene on the Wall,” and she continues to carve out an almost singular niche. Recalling the beat poets as well as confessional singer-songwriters like Leonard Cohen, Ms. Vega’s poetic stories and exquisite melodies—accompanied by her sparse guitar playing and a crack back-up band—make for a stunning evening that inspires and moves.

“…Vega is as original, gritty and gorgeous as ever.” —Newsweek
