Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, who make up the Indigo Girls, continue to amaze decades into their careers with their ability to grow and thrive no matter what state the music industry is in. The duo began performing in high school, taking their honest, urgent performing styles to countless clubs and found success in 1989 with the release of their self-titled breakthrough album. The album included their first hit, "Closer to Fine," which ended up winning them a Grammy in 1990 for Best Contemporary Folk Recording. Throughout the years, the group has earned a devout following in result of their constant touring and dedication to a number of social and environmental causes. Many artists who were popular in the late 1980s have come and gone, but the Indigo Girls have remainEd Strong. Perhaps this is because of their crafty two-women-with-guitars formula, combining their two distinct personalities and songwriting styles to provide tension and an interesting balance.Videos
