Twenty years after they began releasing records as the Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have sold over 14 million records and are still going strong! Amy and Emily are the only duo with top 40 titles on the Billboard 200 in the '80s, '90s, '00s and '10s.

In 2012, they began collaborating with orchestrators to prepare larger-than-life arrangements of their songs to perform with symphonies around the country. The duo found an elusive sonic sweet spot with the project, creating a seamless blend of folk, rock, pop, and classical that elevated their songs to new heights without sacrificing any of the emotional intimacy and honesty that have defined their music for decades.
The power of unity, both in music and in life, has been an Indigo Girls calling card ever since they burst into the spotlight with their 1989 self-titled breakout album. Since then, the band has racked up a slew of Gold and Platinum records, taken home a coveted GRAMMY Award, and earned the respect of high-profile peers and collaborated from Michael Stipe to Joan Baez.
Rolling Stone said, “they personify what happens when two distinct sensibilities, voices, and worldviews come together to create something transcendentally its own.”
The Indigo Girls have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation.
