BIO >>
The Indigo Girls is comprised of singer/guitarists, Amy Ray & Emily Saliers. When they released their independent debut album, Strange Fire, in 1987, the Indigos were part of a new breed of singer-songwriters and independent folk-rock artists, many of whom have subsequently dropped off the radar screen. But more importantly, just as many rising artists have since found their voice, inspired in part by the Indigos' ongoing example. Over their two-decade career, The Indigo Girls' signature warm, open-hearted and honest lyrics, along with an instantly memorable melody that lies somewhere between folk and soul, and rich harmonies, are still their great trademarks.

QUOTES >>
"This next song I wrote in like, um not alot of time, because this girl was so horrible....and she lived above me. We lived in this tiny little place in east Hollywood...and she said something to me. She was listening to my music one day and she said um ...I was just beginning to write Little Earthquakes, and I hadn't written this one yet, and she said 'You know you should really do something like the Indigo Girls.' And I was going, 'Well, why do you think I should do that,' and she goes, 'Well, 'cause you know it's like really good music and stuff and I can really understand what they are saying.' And I'm like but you're an idiot! And the thing is I like Amy and Emily, they are very nice, but this girl um...is just...yanno..she's...she's...she's...smegma. That's not a cuss word, Tim [DJ], I know they can put that out, I know they can put that out. The Christians can't get me for that one."
-- Tori; intro before Leather, KNDD End Sessions, Sep 11, 1998
