    Indigo Girls

    Sunday August 21, 2022 at 9:00pm at Provincetown Town Hall

    The Indigo Girls (Emily Saliers and Amy Ray) have spent thirty-five years performing together, produced sixteen albums (seven gold, four platinum, and one double platinum), earned a Grammy and seven Grammy nominations, and have toured arenas, festivals, and clubs the world over. It is rare to find musicians together so long, rarer still with such profound successes. Their music lives in the hearts of generations of dedicated fans and continues to inspire young musicians. This loyalty is not accidental. Perhaps their relevance over three decades can be credited to the mighty collisions of distinct aesthetics forging new paths over time. The Girls’ refinement not only of style and skill, but of their own creative processes allows access to ever new and liminal spaces.
