Suzanne Vega

Village Preservation is pleased to partner with musician and author Richard Barone for his revitalized new series, VILLAGE NIGHTS, coming to the Bitter End nightclub with four unique events in 2026. Each event will focus on a specific decade of the Village’s musical history, featuring legendary musical guests and panel discussions with noted journalists, authors, and historians. Part of The Bitter End’s 65th Anniversary celebration, these events promise to be as educational and informative as they will be entertaining. “Village Nights” is also part of Village Preservation’s yearlong “Revolutionary Village” series in 2026, which celebrates the contributions that Greenwich Village, the East Village, and NoHo made to American history in the course of the nation’s 250 years. Widely regarded as one of the foremost songwriters of her generation, Suzanne Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk revival of the early 1980s. Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Vega sang what has been called 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 venues.
