The Indigo Girls Are Full of Gratitude
Manage episode 424197283 series 2787342
Since 1985, Emily Sailers and Amy Ray have been known as the Indigo Girls, and they’ve never once stopped making music or sharing their message of acceptance. The two met when they were kids in Decatur, Georgia,, and once they started playing together in high school, it didn’t take long for their unique sound to find an audience—first regionally, then nationally, and eventually worldwide. Last summer, when their hit song “Closer to Fine” was featured prominently in the movie Barbie, they seemed to catch fire with a whole new generation, and now they’re back with a slew of new projects. A documentary called It’s Only Life After All delves into their lives, their struggles, and their activism; a rom-com called Glitter & Doom is set to their music; and of course there’s some new songs. Sid also asks about Emily’s longtime passion for food and cooking, the bar in Atlanta where they got their start, and what it’s been like to endure as openly gay artists in the South and the music industry.
