When God decided humanity deserved an even gayer Simon & Garfunkel, She gave us the Indigo Girls. Three decades and fifteen studio albums later, Amy Ray and Emily Sailers are icons of LGBT music history. Last year’s release Look Long had the folk-rock royals invoking Americana imagery for a tense and troubled gaze at today’s U.S. of A., grounded by a deep and nostalgic love: “I’m just a gay kid in a small town who loves country radio,” Ray and Sailers harmonize. Supported on this leg of the tour by husband-and-wife gospel duo The War and Treaty, hearts will swell on this soulful evening.

The Indigo Girls are certified Lilith Fair royalty. The folk rock duo from Decatur, Georgia, played the main stage all three years during the tour’s original run—from 1997 to 1999—and truly captured the ethos of the late-’90s boom in female-fronted alternative bands and solo artists. Two of their biggest hits, “Closer to Fine” and “Galileo,” actively question the conventional wisdom of a male-dominated world, and the duo challenged the established norms of gender and sexualty with the way they presented themselves in their performances and in public. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers continue to write original music.
