Amy Ray News

The Indigo Girls with full band and special guest The Shadowboxers will perform on Sunday, October 28, at the Capitol Center for the Arts.

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.

She even took a job as a back-up singer for a local Elvis impersonator, an experience she credits with teaching her how to layer vocals and sing harmonies.
