05.17.10 - Staring Down the Brilliant Dream Available for Pre-Order on iTunes

Staring Down the Brilliant Dream, the newest release from Indigo Girls, will be released on June 29. You can pre-order it on iTunes here.

Indigo Girls Amy Ray and Emily Saliers celebrate their long-standing passion for live performance on their upcoming release, Staring Down the Brilliant Dream. The 2-disc CD features 31 songs, each hand-selected by the GRAMMY®-winning duo to capture the most memorable moments of their 2006 2009 shows. The CD reflects the spontaneity of a typical Indigo s concert and includes a mix of solo performances and other numbers backed by their full band, plus vocal collaborations with such guests artists as Brandi Carlile and Jill Hennessey. Staring Down the Brilliant Dream encapsulates the wide range of emotions that fill their shows with fire and wonder, from the warm, sing-a-long spirit of Saliers' Closer to Fine to the political combustion of Ray's Go. With two decades and countless concerts behind them, it would be understandable if the duo now found it hard to distinguish one concert from the next. Instead, as this CD proves, they remain as engaged and present onstage as ever. For each track, Saliers and Ray have penned personal notes on how they wrote the song, what they remember about that specific show, and why among the thousands to chose from they value this performance so much. This 2-disc set is a brilliant reminder of all those concerts we were lucky to catch and consolation for the ones we hated to miss.

06.09.10 - Special Request from Amy and Emily

Hey Everyone!

We wanted to let you know that our dear friend and guitar tech, Sulli, had a stroke on June 6th. She is doing really well, making fast improvements.

As in so many cases these days, Sulli is going to need help with the medical bills.

We have every confidence that she will be returning to work at some point in the near future. Until then, she's gonna need us all to pull together and help make her ends meet. Every little bit helps! Please tap into this Paypal link and join us in showing how much we care.

Thank you!
