indigo girls coming to sioux city
by jesse claeys journal staff writer
amy ray had a tune dancing through her head when it came time to
record the latest studio release from the indigo girls.
not that it was anything new for the singer/songwriter. the problem
this time was ray had never really played lead guitar while recording
with emily saliers, the other half of the folk/rock duo.
"i'm pretty bad but i heard something and wanted to play it. i
struggled with it and did it," ray said during a telephone interview.
a women who has won half a grammy, released around 10 albums and is
adored by countless fans considers herself a bad guitar player? in
order to understand that you have to consider who she thinks great
guitar players are.
"i'm just simple, i guess. i mean, i listen to the allman brothers.
those guys, duane allman, he was the s---. you know, guys like jimi
hendrix, i listen to these guitar players and think, 'oh my god.' when
i listen to all that i realize i'm pretty simple but i'm playing what
is in my heart and that's what's important," ray said.
and playing what is in their hearts may be the key to the lasting
success of the indigo girls. not ones to rely on others' works, ray
and saliers pen their own tunes, with ray bringing a punk rock state
of mind to the softer, more classically influenced saliers.
the ying and yang found between the two indigo girls first grabbed
national attention when epic records released "indigo girls" in 1989.
on the strength of the single "closer to fine" the album hit the
charts and eventually earned a grammy that year for best folk
recording.
a string of gold and platinum records followed, placing ray and
saliers among classic duos like simon and garfunkel, for example. what
musical direction does an acoustic duo take after continued success?
the same one, but now there is some pressure involved.
ray said she tosses and turns over everything from styles of
arrangements to guitar leads, trying to never repeat herself while
writing songs, all the while attempting to stay in touch with the
sound the two women have developed over the years.
"it is important to me and important to challenge yourself, but at the
same time i don't ever think we should be different just for the sake
of being different. we pretty much want to do what is going to be the
best for the song," ray said.
for their latest album, "all that we let in," the indigo girls stuck
with the same team gathered for 2002's "become you." they used the
same studio, producer, studio musicians, etc. this time the gathered
musicians produced an album with rock tracks, rather than just
acoustic ones.
there are times when ray's love of the harder music in life produces
some tunes she deems not to be indigo girls friendly. she uses those
for solo projects like her second solo album that is expected to be
released in early april.
another project also in the works is an album of rarities, a kind of
bootleg disc, according to ray. that will have to wait the 15-stop
fall tour is over, one that will bring the indigo girls to the orpheum
theatre on wednesday, oct. 20.
"we are basically listening to all of the tapes we have lying around
from the last 15 or so years, just trying to sort out what we want to
put on it," the georgia-native said.
ray has learned one thing from listening to years and years of indigo
girls music, it's hard.
"it is kinda humbling and humiliating to listen to old stuff. there's
a reason why we haven't released some of these songs."
but after all, that's coming from a women who considers herself a bad
guitar player.

hey folks,
here's a review of the east lansing show, from the lansing state
journal. you can read it online at (all on one line) -

published october 16, 2004
indigo girls blend beautifully
folk-rock duo had a powerful night; girlyman scored review
by natalie burg
for the lansing state journal
the prolific, grammy-winning, activist duo the indigo girls took the
wharton center stage thursday on a simple set: amy ray and emily
saliers stood side-by-side, playing an ever-changing lineup of
stringed instruments.
and the crowd's reaction to them was simple, as well: simply
overwhelmed.
the indigo girls are known for their large and faithful community of
fans, and the east lansing show was no exception.
old favorites such as "power of two" were not only sung along with,
but the crowd would burst into a frenzy from the first chords. and for
songs such as "closer to fine" and "galileo," the initially subdued
crowd took over for whole verses.
drawing from nine original albums of material, it was no surprise
their set was lengthy, but it was also well-rounded - and the audience
knew almost every song.
the powerful effect these women have on their fans is easy to
understand once you've seen them live. their folky music is honest and
beautiful. ray's smooth, alto voice slides easily beneath saliers'
higher vocals, and their harmonies were well-suited to the guitar
accompaniment.
known for their activism as much as their music, ray and saliers were
chatty during the show. ray talked about her trip earlier that day to
the parkwood ymca and encouraged people to patronize the ymca because
they offer domestic partner memberships; saliers added her plug for
applebee's, which offers "salad bars and domestic partner benefits."
saliers also wore a t-shirt with an unprintable anti-bush sentiment
that elicited cheers.
their music does much of the talking, though. in their own lyrics, the
indigo girls exemplify why their fan base is so strong and empowered
by them. in "let it be me," saliers encouraged the crowd, "if the
world is night, shine my life like a light."
opening bands rarely warrant a mention in a concert review. but
girlyman, who opened for the indigo girls, deserves some attention.
the trio - doris muramatsu, ty greenstein and nate borofsky -
delivered harmonic perfection. the two women and one man alternated
instruments and vocal leads through a fun mix of folk, bluegrass and
funk-inspired tunes.
their set opened with a beautiful cover of paul simon's "born at the
right time," then went on to include several original songs, a
side-spitting snippet of christina aguilera's "genie in a bottle"
woven into their original song "hey rose" and a funky spin on the
dusty springfield favorite, "son of a preacher man," sung by borofsky.
though they were promoting their first album as a trio, their future
is certainly bright.

mime-version: 1.0

paper towels!
just back from the joliet show. our seats were in row bb, which put us
behind a beer-soaked, chatty group who think it's clever to yell
"freebird" (which isn't so bad) and right in front of paper towel girl.
this woman and her friends reeked of beer and kept yelling "paper towels!"
and shrieking in our ears at quiet moments. we think she was high as well
as drunk. i had to pretend she was funny in my head or i would have become
enraged and ruined my evening.
anyway, so my digital camera has an audio recording function, which i used
since nobody wrote back and said "yes, i'm booting joliet." but i hope
somebody did because digital cameras are not made for booting. in fact,
the sound quality is highly sucky. also it turned off once and i don't
know how long it was out, possibly only a few seconds but i only got it
back on after free in you had already started. and since i knew it was
going to suck, soundwise, i didn't restrain myself from singing or
anything.
so i am hoping somebody booted for real. somebody not sitting between
paper towel girl and chatty freebird people. it was a great show! they
played let me go easy and mona lisas and mad hatters and finlandia! of
course, during finlandia, paper towel girl cracked open another brewski, a
sound effect not exactly commensurate with the mood of the song.
oh, amy was wearing a white shirt and shiny brown pants (pleather?) and
emily was wearing the wax bush shirt and jeans - very cute!
back in dekalb now, which is utterly devoid of fun, because of course if
it's fun, it's in downtown joliet. (or so their lampposts would have you
believe.)

subject: u of i champaign-urbana show
mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
the show sunday night at foellinger auditorium at the university of illinois at champaign-urbana was fantastic. the last time they played u of i, the show at the krannert center sold out before i could get tickets. this time, i was fortunate enough to have front row seats (a first for me at an ig show) and even though they were still selling tickets before the show, it looked like a pretty full house to me. i'd forgotten how small this venue is!
amy and emily sound better than ever. they were just unbelievable. i love the band, but just the two of them with their instruments is amazing. highlights for me were thine line, which i was so hoping they'd play and the crowd loved it, and let it be me, virginia woolf and driver education.
emily and amy seemd to get chattier as the evening went on, but looked like they were happy to be there from the very start. they were pretty funny ... amy shared a story about a town meeting they had where she lives that featured a hot debate on same-sex marriage and ended in a hilarious analogy about the spartans.
i learned something at last night's show ... a non-dancing crowd is not necessarily a bad crowd. not a whole lot of dancing at all, but the crowd was really responsive and respectful. i was close to the aisle, so i inched over to dance for a few songs so i wouldn't obscure anyone's view.
another reason why i loved the crowd last night - they seemd to love girlyman as much as i did and it was one of the best responses to an ig opener (or any opener) i've ever seen. and girlyman deserved it, because they were just divine. again, folks weren't up and dancing but the place was pretty full for the opener and not many people were milling around and talking. they played with ig on ctf, perfect world and finlandia and actually managed to make those songs even better ... amy and emily really seemd to be enjoying playing with them.
from the ig site bbs, this is the set list posted as it appears on paper. i can't recall any changes. they didn't seem to have any chats about changing it up and before they played one of the songs, they said someone requested this, but we were going to play it anyway (can't remember which song that was)

amy was wearing her red and black satiny western shirt and emily was wearing a shiny shirt in pretty mauve shade. i think they were both wearing jeans. the both looked happy and well.
we didn't wait after the show. my parents were at our house with our daughter and my husband had to get up early today, so we headed back home and made it back just before 1 a.m.
karen, it was great to meet you!
everybody have fun on the rest of the dates, and don't forget to post reviews!

hi all -
i've been promoting girlyman for the past 3 years - they are terrific and they won independent artist of the year for the song "viola". check out their website www.girlyman.com and check it out. ty, doris and nate are all wonderful people and deserve being signed to daemon records and this spot on the ig tour.
last year they opened for catie curtis.

mime-version: 1.0
content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable
thought i'd post about last night's milwaukee show. it was a nice performan=
ce at a great venue. both commented on how beautiful of a theater it is - a=
nd they are right. actually i've seen quite a few shows at the pabst this p=
ast year and just about every artist has made the same comment. i hope this=
means that ig will never play the riverside theatre in milwaukee again bec=
ause acoustically and intimacy-wise the pabst is far superior.=20
=20
girlyman is getting quite rave reviews from others on this list, and deserv=
edly so. typically 1/3 of an audience remains in the lobby during the openi=
ng act, 1/3 sits in the theatre and talks during the opening act, and the o=
ther 1/3 tries to listen politely. i'd say girlyman shattered those figures=
. i don't think i've ever heard an opening act get quite the attention that=
they did last night. they have great, great harmonies (greg, you would lov=
e them if you didn't attend any of the il shows), good stage presence, and =
earned a great response from the audience. some even stood and cheered afte=
r their final number, a fun rendition of son of a preacher man with a great=
angelic chorus intro. great stuff. i picked up a copy of their cd and am l=
ooking forward to listening to it. certainly one of the better openers i've=
seen at an ig show. i hope they do well.
=20
the crowd was what i would call 'appropriately active'. by that i mean quie=
t during songs that deserved quiet, and rowdy during songs that deserved ro=
wdiness. i've lost track of how many shows i've been to over the last 12 ye=
ars or so, but i guess i'm at that point in my listening and fandom that i=
don't need to stand on my feet the entire show to consider it a good show.=
i'm sure some who still travel to a zillion shows a year might comment tha=
t the crowd was somehow not into it as much, but i would disagree. plus i t=
hink amy and emily play into that as well. they weren't overly talkative an=
d only had a few interactions with the crowd. my personal opinion is that t=
hat keeps the crowd in their seats more than security personnel. =20
=20
a few show highlights: girlyman joined ig for 4 tunes - closer to fine, per=
fect world, get out the map, and finlandia. in each case they really added =
to the songs. actually i'm always struck at how full (soundwise) ig can be =
without a band. but the addition of girlyman on each of those songs was rea=
lly a compliment to the sound, not an unnessasary addition (hope that makes=
sense).=20
=20
for those who like to hear about funny side comments that are made during a=
show, emily had one after she invited girlyman out to play get out the map=
. she said, "welcome girlyman. they=e2=80=99re so fab." when girlyman came =
out, nate from the group asked, "did you just call us fat?" emily replied,=
"no i said fab." nate said, "i thought you said phat like p-h-a-t." emily'=
s response was, "no, i'm too white to say that." maybe you had to be there,=
but i thought it was funny stuff.
=20
anyway, all in all it was a good show. i was a little bummed that they had =
played thin line the night before. i called out for it while others shouted=
out requests. emily grimaced and said, "all songs we played last night." i=
wanted to shout, "but i wasn't there last night!" but they started into th=
e next song too quickly. oh well, maybe next time.
=20
as for the set list, this is what i recall, but don't quote me:
1) yield
2) hammer and a nail
3) heartache for everyone
4) power of two
5) starkville
6) it's alright
7) dairy queen
8) free in you
9) go
10) closer to fine (with girlyman, and connie of mrs. fun playing tambourin=

11) perfect world (with girlyman)
12) soon be to nothing
13) chickenman / bitterroot
14) fill it up again
15) become you
16) something real
17) rodeo
18) get out the map (with girlyman)
19) land of canaan
encore:
20) mona lisas and mad hatters

that's it for now folks...deb

a subtle mix of politics, music
advocacy remains unspoken while the songs inspire a sense of community and
tunefulness
by dave tianen
dtianen@journalsentinel.com
posted: oct. 19, 2004
the evening opened with an unspoken political double-entendre.
indigo girls
when the indigo girls took the stage at the pabst theater monday night, emily
saliers was wearing a black t-shirt with a command that melded politics and
personal hygiene.
one expects a thread of muscular advocacy from the indigo girls. the surprising
thing about the new indigos album, "all that we let in," is that in a year
marked by ardent musical propagandizing, the indigos have come up with an album
that is largely relational in its focus.
perhaps the issues are already so well staked out that there's not much need to
talk about them. no fewer than a dozen political action groups are advertised
behind the cd in "all that we let in." there's everything from honor the earth
to sweat shop watch to the national gay and lesbian task force.
but during the concert saliers and partner amy ray spoke only in passing about
the election. they didn't even introduce songs. indeed, they really didn't
speak to the crowd much at all.
they didn't need to. the indigo girls have never really had a hit song. but
they have a sense of community with their audience that transcends the passing
enthusiasm of a hit song. most of the women who emerged from the late '80s folk
movement have fallen back to the level of club attractions.
the indigo girls visit milwaukee often, but they always pack the house, as they
did again at the pabst. a lot of acts have fans who can sing the chorus to
their biggest hits. when the indigos jump in unannounced with the freshly
minted "fill it up again" or "perfect world," the crowd sings along with the
verses to those new songs. for indigo landmarks like "closer to fine" or "get
out the map," the mostly female crowd is on its feet and singing along from the
get-go.
certainly some of it is the knack for writing folk rock tunes with booming
choruses and stick-to-the-ears melodies. but there's probably a bit more to it
than that.
ray and saliers are an interesting mix of contrast and complement. ray is
edgier, more rock 'n' roll, more raspy. her physicality is different as well.
she's dark and lean, looking a bit like a female ron wood.
saliers is blonder, softer, with a prettier, more classic pop/folk voice. and
while she doesn't have ray's hint of aggression, she's more talkative. that
kind of mix of personalities and physical types has helped win one of the most
loyal cult audiences in contemporary folk for the indigo girls.
because of deadlines it was impossible to catch all of the indigos' encore.

i don't know if anyone else has had this experience-- all my life i've seen ig in milwaukee,chicago and madison. i've gone on the occaisional ig road trip (pa, in, etc.), but i normally see ig at certain 'home' theatres. now i'm living in la, and while i've seen them at some great places (humphries, the greek, disney hall, etc.), it's just not the same. everytime they play milwaukee i want to buy a plane ticket back! i also find that i had a more personal interaction with the girls when i was living in milwaukee. i don't know if they remember fans based in part upon the location in which they normally see them, or if it's just that fans are a little less ardent in the wisconsin area....anyone else relate?

i too live on the west coast, but my parents live in the midwest. i flew in
for the joliet, urbana, and milwaukee shows. the girls were very accessible
at all three shows, whereas after many of the west coast shows from this
summer, they weren't as much so.
i actually think it has more to do with the venue itself than anything else.
at some places (like disney hall for example), it is impossible for them to
sign or do photos as their bus is parked somewhere underground.
as far as the shows themselves, i do think it has to do with their moods more
than anything. at all three shows i was at last weekend, they were in great
moods. however, i have been to plenty of midwest shows where their moods
weren't so great and they weren't nearly as chatty with the crowd. from the
reviews i am reading from the other midwest shows this time around, it just seems
like they are both in great moods. they've have a fairly long break (only a
few scattered shows since july), and are probably just happy to be touring for a
while again. :)

indigo girls deliver big show to small crowd
by jesse claeys, journal staff writer
a small turnout at the orpheum theatre did little to deter the indigo girls
when they brought their brand of folk music to sioux city wednesday night.
"it feels like we have the place to ourselves tonight," emily saliers, one half
of the indigo girls, said at the conclusion of the duo's first song.
the theatre had the vibe of kids in a school building without any teachers
around throughout the show. with half of the floor's seats empty and many of
the balcony seats vacant, all the space created an intimate setting where
saliers and fellow indigo girl amy ray had ongoing dialogues with the crowd in
between tunes that spanned their entire career.
the set was a balance between the two singer/songwriters. the set ping ponged
between songs penned by ray and those written by saliers. the fast paced "go"
driven by ray's chops balanced nicely with "power of two" carried by saliers's
vocals. and so the night went.
early on during the over-75-minute performance, ray's voice was scratchy at
times, but may have only been noticeable because ray and saliers were mostly
alone on stage with only their voices and an endless parade of stringed
instruments.
vocals were strong on "closer to fine," which moved people to their feet upon
hearing the opening notes. girlyman, the three-piece acoustic band that opened
last night, joined the indigo girls on stage for three songs, including "closer
to fine." during the song, the indigo girls sang a verse, girlyman sang a
verse and the crowd sang the last one.
the moment may have proved there is nothing finer than a crowd comprised mostly
of women with decent voices singing into the inviting acoustics of the orpheum
theater.
some may have expected the duo who performed on a few stops of ani difranco's
"vote dammit!" tour and are well know for their political activism to talk
about the upcoming elections during the show; but they were only mentioned in
passing, with saliers asking if everyone was registered before breaking into
"hammer and a nail."
the small gathering allowed for every person with a request to clearly voice
their pick to the indigo girls, and, at one point, for a guy to tell the
ladies he was from seattle. the intimacy increased when, after two people
tossed stuffed animals on stage, ray revealed something personal.
"i can't throw stuffed animals out because i think they are alive," she said,
possibly joking before describing a climate-controlled room at her home filled
with the fluffy things.
saliers dropped a local note saying she had dinner at sioux city eatery sweet
fanny's tuesday night and asked if the waitress who served her was at the
show. she was and was thanked for bringing a few friends along with her.
when all was played and sung, there was plenty of love in the big theatre
coming from a small group of indigo girl fans wednesday night. it's just too
bad there were not more people to join in.
