Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center Presents Suzanne Vega

Westhampton Beach - Westhampton Beach Performing Arts Center presents a rare intimate performance with Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Suzanne Vega on Saturday, February 4 at 8 p.m. in the Mollie Parnis Auditorium.

Fresh off her successful Off Broadway debut in NYC and a European Tour, pioneering musician Vega brings her utterly unique voice and instantly identifiable sound to the PAC.

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 labeled 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 halls. She became an international sensation with hit songs, "Luka," "Marlene on the Wall," and "Tom's Diner" which was later made popular when the British group DNA remixed the song in 1990.

Now, with seven studio albums to her credit, Suzanne is reinterpreting and re-recording her catalog in a stripped-down retrospective called "The Close Up Series." On tour in support of the third volume, "States of Being," this intimate program features Vega, accompanied only by guitar virtuoso Gerry Leonard.
