Suzanne Vega Plays the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival (Sun., 6/8/25)

Suzanne Vega, highly acclaimed folk pop, singer/songwriter/acoustic guitar player and who Biography Magazine called “one of the most brilliant songwriters of her generation,” is playing the Dollar Bank Three Rivers Arts Festival this month. Vega grew up in New York City, attending the High School for Performing Arts. She has always had an interest in lyrics, literature, and poetry, even publishing The Passionate Eye: The Collected Writings of Suzanne Vega, a volume of poems, lyrics, essays and journalistic pieces. Her songs include the top 10 hits “Luka,” and “Tom’s Diner.” Vega’s latest album is Flying with Angels, which dropped in May. She will be accompanied by her longtime guitarist, Gerry Leonard (of David Bowie fame), and cellist Stephanie Winters. 7:30 p.m. Free. Due to construction the Arts Festival will take place in the Riverfront lots at the 15th Street Plaza along Waterfront Place in the Strip District. (R.H.)
