SUMMARY:Indigo Girls
DESCRIPTION:16 studio albums\, and over 15 million records sold\, Indigo 
 Girls continue to blaze the trail for generations of Queer artists in th
 e mainstream. The Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray began 
 their career in clubs and bars around their native Atlanta\, GA amidst a
  blossoming alternative music scene before signing to Epic Records in 19
 88. Indigo Girls’ eponymous major label debut sold over two million copi
 es under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and intro
 duced the duo’s signature harmonies and powerful\, sophisticated songs t
 o a dedicated\, enduring global audience. Indigo Girls was the first of 
 six consecutive Gold and/or Platinum-certified albums. On their latest r
 ecord\, the Indigo Girls tell their origin story. 2020’s Look Long\, is 
 stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo of Amy Ray 
 and Emily Saliers chronicling their personal upbringings with more speci
 ficity and focus than they have on any previous song-cycle. These eleven
  songs have a tender\, revealing motion to them\, as if they’re feeding 
 into a Super 8 film projector\, illuminating a darkened living room. “We
 ’re fallible creatures shaped by the physics of life\,” says Saliers. “W
 e’re shaped by our past\; what makes us who we are? And why?” The two so
 ngwriters are tackling the mechanisms of perspective. In this moment of 
 delirious upheaval\, Look Long considers the tremendous potential of ord
 inary life and suggests the possibility that an honest survey of one’s p
 ast and present\, unburdened by judgement\, can give shape to something 
 new—the promise of a way forward. With the energy of an expanding\, loya
 l audience beneath their feet\, a weather eye toward refinement\, and an
  openness to redefinition\, Indigo Girls exemplify that promise.“We joke
  about being old\, but what is old when it comes to music? We’re still a
  bar band at heart\,” says Saliers. “While our lyrics and writing approa
 ch may change\, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we w
 ere 25 years old.” Committed and uncompromising activists\, Saliers and 
 Ray work on issues like racial justice and reproductive rights (Project 
 Say Something)\, immigration reform (El Refugio)\, LGBTQ advocacy\, educ
 ation (Imagination Library)\, death penalty reform\, and Native American
  rights\, (First Peoples Fund). “As time has gone on\, our audience has 
 become more expansive and diverse\, giving me a sense of joy\,” remarks 
 Saliers. Recently\, “Closer to Fine” featured prominently in Greta Gerwi
 g’s blockbuster film Barbie and introduced Indigo Girls’ music to a new 
 generation of listeners. Released in 2024\, their critically-acclaimed d
 ocumentary Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All (directed by Alexandri
 a Bombach) blends 40 years of home movies\, raw film archive\, and intim
 ate present-day verité into a heartfelt career retrospective. A New York
  Times Critic’s Pick\, the documentary premiered opening night at the Su
 ndance Film Festival in 2023 and went on to screen at SXSW\, Tribeca Fil
 m Festival\, and Hot Docs before releasing to Netflix. While Rolling Sto
 ne describes them as “ideal duet partners\,” Indigo Girls’ live performa
 nces aren’t so much duets as they are community experiences—massive grou
 p singalongs together with their audience. To hear those collective sing
 ing voices raise into one and overpower even the band itself\, one reali
 zes the importance Indigo Girls’ music has in this moment. In an increas
 ingly-terrifying present\, we are all in search of a daily refuge\, a st
 olen hour or two\, when we engage with something that brings us joy\, pe
 rspective\, or maybe just a sense of peace. As one bar band once put it\
 , “We go to the doctor\, we go to the mountains...we go to the Bible\, w
 e go through the work out.” For millions\, they go to the Indigo Girls: 
 a creative partnership certain of its bearings\, forging a way forward.\
