FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 2018 @ 8PM | ROCK/BLUES | $68/$58/$48
For Americana godfather David Bromberg, it all began with the blues. His incredible journey spans five-and-a-half decades, and includes - but is not limited to - adventures with Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Jerry Garcia, and seminal blues guitarist Reverend Gary Davis. Bromberg's guitar work - amped electric lead - both slide and fretted - and delicately powerful acoustic fingerpicking - retains the same force today that made him the go-to guy for acts ranging from the Eagles to Link Wray to Phoebe Snow. A musician's musician, Bromberg's mastery of several stringed instruments (guitar, fiddle, Dobro, mandolin), and multiple styles is legendary, leading Dr. John to declare him an American icon. See this continually inventive, legendary musician, live at the Emelin.

Suzanne Vega
FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 2018 @ 8PM | ROCK/FOLK | $70/$55/$45
Widely 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. A masterful storyteller, Vega writes songs that are notably succinct and understated, often cerebral but also streetwise, inviting multiple interpretations, much like her signature hit, "Luka," which has become part of the cultural vernacular. Her neo-folk style ushered in a new female, acoustic, folk-pop singer-songwriter movement that would include the likes of Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin, and Indigo Girls. Today, Vega continues to invent and surprise. See the GRAMMY award winner live at the Emelin, and experience her emotionally plaintive yet disarmingly powerful voice, up close and personal.
