Episode 85 - Suzanne Vega

"Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we’ll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, iconic singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega opens up about a deeply personal chapter of her life: discovering the man she thought was her father actuaaly wasn't. Known for hits like Luka and Tom’s Diner, Vega reveals the emotional journey of uncovering family secrets, identity, and the impact this truth had on her music and sense of self.
