Regarded as one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk-music revival of the early 1980s. Singing 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,” Vega has made such songs as "Luka" and "Tom's Diner" hits among generations of fans.
With a songlist ranging from folk and bluegrass to funk and hip-hop, Arlington-based artist Justin Trawick has opened for Pat Green, Ingram Hill, Edwin McCain, Pat McGee, Cowboy Mouth, Sara Bareilles, Jimmies Chicken Shack, K.C. and The Sunshine Band, Robinella, Jenny Owen Youngs, and others.
