Indigo Girls to Play Goshen College
Grammy-winning folk duo the Indigo Girls will be in Goshen, Ind. for a show on Saturday, September 13.
With a career spanning nearly three decades, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers will be playing classics from throughout their career as well as songs from their most recent release, “Beauty Queen Sister,” on IG Recordings/ Vanguard Records. “Beauty Queen Sister” is a stunning 13-song collection featuring the signature storytelling that fans have grown to love, touching on modern-world worries and romanticizing the simplicity of days gone by.
Recorded in Nashville, the duo reunited with producer Peter Collins, with whom the Indigo Girls worked on 1992’s “Rites of Passage” and 1994’s “Swamp Ophelia.” Alternating richly textured storytelling with moody ruminations on modern-world worries, “Beauty Queen Sister” reveals a fierce longing for a more idyllic existence while still celebrating the extraordinary in everyday living.
The Indigo Girls still amaze conventional pundits with their ability to grow and thrive, no matter what the state of the music industry is at any given point, and have just announced that they’ll be working on a new studio album in the fall. As new generations of music fans discover their timeless catalog, Ray and Saliers continue to challenge themselves, performing with regional symphony orchestras and keeping busy tour and recording schedules.
The show will be Saturday, Sept. 13, starting at 7:15 p.m. at Sauder Concert Hall at Goshen College. Tickets range from $28 to $44, and may be purchased at http://gcmusiccenter.org or by calling the box office at (574) 535-7566
