The Indigo Girls - Long before Joan Osborne, Sheryl Crow, Liz Phair or Courtney Love ever splashed across the American musical landscape, the Indigo Girls were singing and guitar-slinging their way into the hearts and minds of anyone willing to lend an ear to two of the hardest-working women in the music business. Stripped-down, folkie rock was not exactly prime radio fodder at the end of the eighties, but somehow the Amy Ray and Emily Saliers combination of thoughtful, semi-political topics, accessible melodies, and feminist posturing caught on, both with the college-radio crowd and a more mainstream audience. Add in the duo's indefatigable approach to touring, and you get a long-lasting formula for success.
The laid back nature of the Indigo Girls has won them legions of fans who flock to concerts like "Lilith Fair" each year. The Indigo Girls hits include "Closer to Fine," "Get Together" and "Strange Fire."
