Indigo Girls at DPAC – Durham Performing Arts Center

Indigo Girls will be performing at DPAC on Saturday, September 25, 2021. The Grammy-winning folk duo Indigo Girls will return to the road in support of their critically acclaimed new release Look Long, giving fans the live debut they have been eagerly awaiting.



Rolling Stone calls them “ideal duet partners.” Released in 1989, Indigo Girls' eponymous major label debut sold over two million units under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and turned Indigo Girls into overnight folk icons and one of the most successful duos in history. Over a thirty-five-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta, Georgia, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have recorded sixteen studio albums (seven gold, four platinum, one double platinum), sold over 15 million records, and built a dedicated, enduring following.



“We joke about being old, but what is old when it comes to music? We’re still a bar band at heart,” says Saliers. “We are so inspired by younger artists and while our lyrics and writing approach may change, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25-years-old.”



Crowd singalongs that often overpower the band itself are a trademark of Indigo Girls concerts. With the duo returned to the road, venues across the country are filling once again with the sound of those collective voices raised in song. The phenomenon epitomizes the sense of community that defines Indigo Girls’ music. As one bar band once put it, “We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains...we go to the Bible, we go through the work out.” For millions, they go to Indigo Girls. On Look Long they’ll find a creative partnership certain of its bearings, forging a way forward.
