Suzanne Vega: Live in Seoul. Widely regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation , Suzanne Vega is touring as a duo with her amazing guitarist Gerry Leonard (David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Chris Botti, etc) in support of her new album, “Songs of Family.” Suzanne Vega has reached in the top 10 of various international charts with “Luka” and “Tom’s Diner” both from her sophomore album, Solitude Standing and has gone on to release over eight albums, live CDs and DVDs, and career retrospectives. In 2010, Vega began to release several volumes entitled Close Up which finds her re-imagining songs from her vast catalog in a stripped down, unadorned setting, placing emphasis on her lyrical talent and hushed melodic sensibility. The first three volumes have received worldwide critical acclaim. 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. In performances devoid of outward drama that nevertheless convey deep emotion, Vega sings in a distinctive, clear vibrato-less voice that has been described as “a cool, dry sandpaper- brushed near-whisper” and as “plaintive but disarmingly powerful.” VENUE: Mapo Art Center Art Hall DATE: April 3, 8PM ADMISSION: R Seats: KRW 88,000, S Seats: 66,000 MORE INFO: See this link. ticket.yes24/Pages/English/Perf/FnPerfDeail.aspx?IdPerf=17243 GETTING THERE: See link above.
