SARATOGA SPRINGS —Suzanne Vega performs at Universal Preservation Hall on Friday, April 14.
Vega, who released her acclaimed debut in 1985, will be joined on stage by her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard, performing favorites from across her career.
Vega’s self-titled debut, co-produced by Steve Addabbo and Patti Smith Group guitarist Lenny Kaye, saw the release of her songs “Marlene On The Wall,” “Small Blue thing,” and “The Queen and the Soldier.”
Her 1987 follow-up, “Solitude Standing’ — again co-produced by Addabbo and Kaye — was nominated for three Grammys and went platinum in the U.S., selling three million copies worldwide, powered by her song “Luka,” and her initial, original a cappella piece, “Tom’s Diner.”
Vega’s latest album, “An Evening of New York Songs and Stories,” was recorded at the Café Carlyle in New York City.
