WoodSongs 705: The Indigo Girls

THE INDIGO GIRLS are the Grammy-winning folk-rock duo from Georgia. Emily Saliers and Amy Ray began performing together in high school, transferred their honest, urgent performing style onto the stages of countless small clubs, then saw their public profile take off with the 1989 release of their self-titled breakthrough (an album that included the first hit, “Closer To Fine," and went on to win Best Contemporary Folk Recording at the 1990 Grammys). The duo's constant touring, as well as staunch dedication to a number of social and environmental causes, has earned them a fervidly devoted following over the years. On their fourteenth studio album, 'Beauty Queen Sister', the duo deliver a beautifully crafted batch of songs that revel in spirited simplicity. The Indigo Girls will be performing on WoodSongs with their full touring band The Shadowboxers.
