BATH — Songwriter Suzanne Vega will appear at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, at Chocolate Church Arts Center, 804 Washington St.

Vega emerged as a leading figure of the folk music revival of the early 1980s that ushered in a new female, acoustic, folk pop singer-songwriter movement that includes the likes of Tracy Chapman, Shawn Colvin and Indigo Girls.

Many people were first introduced to Vega through the memorable song “Luka.” She is also well-recognized by the a cappella piece “Tom’s Diner,” about a non-descript restaurant near Columbia University uptown.

Her new album “Lover, Beloved: Songs from an Evening with Carson McCullers” was inspired by the life and writings of distinguished writer Carson McCullers. This creative effort is a followup to her 2011 original play “Carson McCullers Talks About Love,” written and performed by Vega with songs she wrote with Tony Award winner Duncan Sheik (“Spring Awakening”).

Vega has just released a new music video for “We of Me,” the first single from her new album.

Tickets are $40 in advance or $45 at the door. They’re available at the box office by calling 207-442-8455 or by visiting www.chocolatechurcharts.org.
