Amy Ray, still thriving as one half of GRAMMY-winning folk duo Indigo Girls, premieres her new song, 'Dadgum Down,' today with Southern arts and culture magazine Garden & Gun. Containing 14 new songs by Ray, the album will be released on September 28, 2018 on Daemon Records via the Compass Records Group and will include a special double LP version, along with hi-res and MQA versions. Garden & Gun writes of 'Dadgum Down,' 'the song touches lyrically on addiction, despair, and the need for a clean slate, and, like much of Holler, offers fuller instrumentation than Ray's previous solo work.' The song features keyboards and a hypnotic banjo pattern by GRAMMY-winner Alison Brown as well as backing vocals by Lucy Wainwright Roche. In the accompnaying interview, Ray talks about her life in rural Northeastern Georgia, her neighbors (many who have different beliefs), and the Southern tradition of hospitality and helping each other out.

Winner of the 2002 Tony Award for Best Play, The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? is about a profoundly unsettling subject: the irrational, confounding, and convention-thwarting nature of love. Martin-a hugely successful architect who has just turned fifty-leads an ostensibly ideal life with his loving wife and gay teenage son. But when he confides to his best friend that he is also in love with Sylvia, he sets in motion events that will destroy his family and leave his life in tatters.
