#FortnightFridayMusic June 13 2026 the word is "Omen"

Artist: Suzanne Vega
Album: Days of Open Hand (1989)
Song: Predictions

youtube.com/watch?v=L7TklT11fA

Suzanne Vega's first album is one of my all-time favourites, every song a banger. Her second, "Solitude Standing", has some good songs (the title track may be my favourite of hers) but is a little uneven. Then "Days of Open Hand" came out with the lead single "Book of Dreams" which I just could not stand at all. I may not have revisited it until after "Blood Makes Noise" came out. But this song is great so it's a good thing I did.

Suzanne Vega at The Cabot, June 5th, 2025

Suzanne Vega and Gerry Leonard onstage at The Cabot

Suzanne Vega is on 13-night tour of the east coast (Maine to DC), and one of the stops was in Beverly at the Cabot.

The show is Vega, accompanied by Gerry Leonard, with cellist Stephanie Winters joining on maybe 2/3rds of the songs. There are some backing tracks (percussion) on some songs and I think Leonard may be doubling some bass strings (an effect that covers for the lack of a bass player).

She did a ton of older material – back to “The Queen and the Soldier” and “Small Blue Thing” as well as hits like “Merlene on the Wall” and “Left of Center” – including of course, Luka.

They also did some material from the new album, Flying with Angels, including her adaptation of Bob Dylan’s “I Want You” rewritten from the pov of the chambermaid, and the title track. The audience kept calling for “Witches” – perhaps inspired by proximity to Salem – but Vega said they weren’t ready for that.

As an encore, the trio covered Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side” and did “Love Thief” from the new album, closing with “Blood Makes Noise” of her 99.9 F° album.
