Folk-rock luminary Suzanne Vega has just released her first album in eleven years, Flying with Angels. Best known for hits like Luka, Marlene on the Wall, and Solitude Standing, Vega will be in New Zealand in September 2026 to perform three career-spanning shows.

She joins Jim Mora from her home in New York to discuss her new album, Buddhism, staying anonymous, and her Crowded House connection.
