Suzanne Vega announces 2013 dates, coming to Carrboro

Veteran singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega released a new collection of stripped down versions of songs from her back catalogue titled Close-Up Vol. 4, Songs of Family (as you may have guessed, it's the fourth collection of stripped down tunes). She'll hit the road on a U.S. tour next year and is coming back to the Triangle.

She'll play the ArtsCenter in Carrboro on Thursday, February 28. Tickets are on sale now via Etix for $30. She will also conduct a master class in songwriting before the show. Tickets for that event are on sale via Etix as well.

Check out the new version of the song "Pilgrimage" found on Close-Up Vol. 4, Songs of Family below.
