Amy Ray News

Amy and Emily, the Indigo Girls, have joined the Chicago-area stop of the That Girl Tour which includes singer/songwriter Brandy Clark and headliner Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.

Barking Rain Press, a non-profit fiction publisher, announced the print and eBook release of the suspense novel 'Dangerous Denial' from first-time author Amy Ray of Rye, New Hampshire. The book was a quarter finalist in the 2008 Amazon Breatkthrough Novel Award (ABNA) contest under the working title 'To Have, to Hold... Till Death.' Denying the past proves deadly for BK Hartshaw and Trevor Mayhew in this gripping noir novel where nothing is as it seems. BK is a rising star at a public relations firm, and tonight's charity ball should be a high point in her career. But a closely guarded secret threatens to destroy her chance for happiness with the only man she's ever loved... a man who is also hiding a deadly secret. Trevor has tried to put the past behind him, pretending it never happened. But the conniving father he's been running from for years has finally found him-and is determined to settle the score once and for all. BK and Trevor's deeply buried secrets are about to catch up with them-and everyone they know and love. Who will pay the ultimate price for their dangerous denials? Publisher's Weekly reviewed the novel as part of the ABNA contest, saying: 'The sins of the parents are visited upon their children in this entertaining thriller. BK's (short for Beatrice Karen) and Trevor's lives collide when a charity ball erupts into violence. Tightly plotted suspenseful moments and a deftly-executed plot twist combine to keep readers holding onto this novel until the wee hours.'

With fourteen studio albums under their belt, Grammy-winning folk-rock duo Indigo Girls are known for their beautifully crafted songs that revel in spirited simplicity. Alternating richly textured storytelling with moody ruminations on modern-world worries, their most recent album Beauty Queen Sister, reveals a fierce longing for a more idyllic existence while still celebrating the extraordinary in everyday living. Thanks to its graceful mix of openhearted songwriting and lush, intricate arrangements-not to mention powerful performances by the band and their brigade of guest musicians-Beauty Queen Sister ultimately allows the listener to slip into the sort of dreamy serenity that Amy Ray and Emily Saliers sing of striving for.

A typical season at Wolf Trap includes something for everyone with performances ranging from pop, country, folk, and blues to orchestra, dance, theater, and opera, as well as innovative performance art and multimedia presentations.
