THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 20
Fresh off the July release of her latest CD, Beauty & Crime, New York native Suzanne Vega takes the stage at the Somerville Theater (55 Davis Square, Somerville, 617.625.5700) tonight at 8 p.m. for An Evening with Suzanne Vega. Even the staunchest Red Sox fans can appreciate her collection of 11 new tracks, all framed by a post-9/11 New York. An observer by nature, Vega writes songs that explore the nuances of her city - sometimes literally, with tracks like "Ludlow Street" and "New York is a Woman" - but which also delve into the personal. Vega's appearance is sure to be the sort of intimate, emotive performance we've come to expect from her. Tickets, which are $35 and $40, can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com and at 617.931.2000.
