Indigo Girls Tickets Information

Indigo Girls
Indigo Girls - an American folk rock duo, consisting of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, started off in Atlanta as a regular act at The Little 5 Points Pub and were part of the Athens, Georgia college rock scene that included The B-52's, Pylon, R.E.M., The Georgia Satellites, and Love Tractor.

The two women met when they were students at Laurel Ridge Elementary School in DeKalb County, Georgia. While attending Shamrock High School, they began performing together as the B-Band and Saliers and Ray. Saliers graduated and began attending Tulane University.

A year later, Ray graduated and began at Vanderbilt University. Nostalgic, both returned to Georgia and moved to Emory University. By 1985, they began performing together again, as the Indigo Girls. Their first release in 1985 was a seven-inch single called "Crazy Game"; the b-side was "Everybody's Waiting (for Someone to Come Home)". Later in 1987, the Indigo Girls put out a six-track self-titled EP and released their first full-length album, Strange Fire. With this release, they hired the services of Russell Carter, who remains their manager to the present day.

The success of 10,000 Maniacs, Tracy Chapman, and Suzanne Vega convinced Epic Records to appreciate their talent and search for other women singer-songwriters; Epic signed the duo in 1988. Their first major-label release - titled Indigo Girls, which secured #22 on the album chart, comprised of a new version of "Land of Canaan", which was also included in their 1985 EP and on Strange Fire. Also it had "Closer To Fine" - their first hit, which attained #52 on the pop chart & #26 on the modern rock chart. They even secured #48 for a week on the mainstream rock Album-oriented rock chart. In 1990, they won the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Folk Recording and were also chosen for Best New Artist.

After leaving Epic, the Indigo Girls signed a five record deal with Hollywood Records - a label under The Walt Disney Company. Their first Hollywood album - Despite Our Differences was released on September 19th, 2006.

Ray and Saliers write songs separately, apart from a few ones, though mostly unreleased songs from their early, pre-Epic days: "I don't know your name" and "If you live like that." "Blood Quantum," which appears on Honor: A Benefit for the Honor the Earth Campaign featured Ray's verses and chorus and Saliers's bridge. Finally, "I'll give you my skin," which appears both on Tame Yourself (Benefit People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and on the Indigo Girls release Rarities, is a joint work by Ray, Saliers and Michael Stipe of R.E.M.

In 1990, Ray established Daemon Records, which has signed Ellen James Society, Kristen Hall, Rose Polenzani, Girlyman, Nineteen Forty-Five, Athens Boys Choir, and James Hall among others.

Ray has put out three solo albums - Stag, Prom, and Live From Knoxville, through Daemon. She has toured with both the Butchies and her band the Volunteers.

Saliers, who is also a co-owner of Watershed Restaurant in Decatur, Georgia, together with her husband and two friends, is also scheduling a solo album. Saliers also co-founded the Flying Biscuit Cafe in Atlanta, Georgia. In 2005, Emily Saliers collaborating with her father, Don Saliers, a theology professor at Emory University, released a book A Song to Sing, A Life to Live: Reflections on Music as Spiritual Practice.

Both Ray and Saliers declare themselves as lesbians. Even though, they are not a couple. Ray has had long-term relationships with musician Cooper Seay and feminist author Jennifer Baumgardner, and is currently in a relationship with documentary filmmaker Carrie Schrader. Because of their engagements for LGBT rights, they are regarded as pioneers of the movement.
