It seems concerts always come in waves. We had a whole string of them earlier this summer, and now we’re starting another one.

We saw the Old 97’s on Friday, and Suzanne Vega tonight.

I’m surprised I haven’t written about Suzanne before. If I have, I forgot to categorize it so that I could find it again! Anyway, we’ve been fans for years, and have seen her quite a few times at our favorite local venue, the Rams Head Tavern.

This time around, she wasn’t promoting an album (her latest, Beauty & Crime, came out last year), so the setlist was a great combination of songs spanning most of her albums.

I didn’t go overboard with photos this time because of the venue. Everyone is seated at tables, and nobody was taking photos. Near the end some folks started snapping, so I pulled out my camera. I kept the flash off, and had to zoom a bit so it’s not that great …

We got to meet with Suzanne after the show — a chance to chat for a minute, get some autographs and take a photo.

(No, I haven’t grown since last year. I’m in heels, and she’s wearing flats.)

We’ve got more concerts scheduled for late August / early September, so stay tuned!
