Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega will perform on San Giusto’s stage tonight, 17 July at 9 pm.
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. Since the release of her self-titled, critically acclaimed 1985 debut album, she has given sold-out concerts in many of the world’s best-known venues.
Known for performances that convey deep emotion, Vega’s distinctive, “clear, unwavering voice” (Rolling Stone) has been described as “a cool, dry sandpaper-brushed near-whisper” by The Washington Post, with NPR Music noting that she“ has been making vital, inventive music” throughout the course of her decades-long career.
Tickets can be purchased at the door. Doors open at 8 pm.
