The Indigo Girls will be performing at the House of Blues on March 27, 2013
The Indigo Girls are an American folk rock music duo consisting of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers. They met in elementary school and began performing together as high school students in Decatur, Georgia, part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. They started performing with the name Indigo Girls as students at Emory University, performing weekly at The Dugout, a bar in the Emory Village.
They released a self-produced, full-length record album in 1987 and
contracted with a major record company in 1988. After releasing nine
albums with major record labels from 1987 through 2007, they have now
resumed self-producing albums with their own IG Recordings company.
Outside of working on Indigo Girls-related projects, Ray has released solo albums and founded a non profit organization that promotes independent musicians, while Saliers is an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry as well as a professional author;
she also collaborates with her father, Dr. Don Saliers, in performing
for special groups/causes. Both Saliers and Ray self-identify as lesbian and are active in political and environmental causes.
