In the late 80s Suzanne Vega's second album "Solitude Standing" was a global hit, establishing her as one of the few rising stars of "new folk."

Her most recent album, "Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles" released in February, was Vega's first album of new material in seven years. Joe’s Pub, 425 Lafayette St., NoHo. Two shows each on Friday and Saturday night. 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. $40

TV On The Radio are back with new album “Seeds,” their first since 2011’s “Nine Types of Light.” Vocalist Tunde Adebimpe says: "We've been through a lot of stuff in the past few years that could have stopped the band cold; but I'm glad we got it together and took stock of the unique connection we have between each other because the record is, 1000 percent, without a doubt, the best thing we've ever done." To gain entry into this exclusive performance at Rough Trade NYC purchase the new album from the Rough Trade store starting 11 a.m. on Monday, November 17. 64 North 9th St., Williamsburg. 6:30 p.m.
