The Princess Theatre

Mondy, April 29, 2024, The Indigo Girls, one of the most successful folk duos in history, comprised of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray, will perform at the Princess Theatre. The Indigo Girls’ eponymous major label debut (1989) sold over two million copies under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and won a Grammy Award for best contemporary folk recording. Over a thirty-five-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta, Georgia, The Indigo Girls has recorded sixteen studio albums, sold over 15 million records, and in addition to their Grammy win, garnered 7 Grammy nominations. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners.” Committed and uncompromising activists, they support issues including immigration reform (El Refugio), LGBTQ+ advocacy, education (Imagination Library), death penalty reform, and Indigenous People’s rights. Saliers and Ray are co-founders of Honor the Earth, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities, Indigenous environmental justice, and green energy solutions. Their latest record, Look Long, is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date. “We joke about being old – but what is old when it comes to music?” says Saliers. “While our lyrics and writing approach may change, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25-years-old. As time has gone on, our audience has become more expansive and diverse, giving me a sense of joy,” Saliers adds.
