The Providence Performing Arts Center (PPAC) and the Rhode Island Philharmonic have announced that Grammy Award-winning duo INDIGO GIRLS will perform with the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Francisco Noya at PPAC tonight, February 13, 2015 at 8P.
After signing to Epic Records in 1988, the INDIGO GIRLS released their critically acclaimed eponymous album to thunderous praise; it remained on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart for 35 weeks, earned double platinum status, received a Grammy nomination for " Best New Artist," and won "Best Contemporary Folk Recording." They were overnight folk icons who continued to live up to the high standards they'd set for themselves: they've since released 14 albums (3 of which went platinum and 3 of which went gold), received six Grammy nominations, and have won one. INDIGO GIRLS have toured with innumerable star acts including Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, R.E.M., Sarah MacLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Jewel, and Mary Chapin Carpenter.
The duo has balanced their long, successful musical career by supporting numerous social causes. Having established an intensely dedicated fan base, the duo continues to remain relevant and attract new fans. With their latest release, Beauty Queen Sister, released on Vanguard Recordings, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have secured their spot as one of the most legendary musical acts of this generation. Since 2010 the Indigo Girls have partnered with orchestras across the country to revisit classic hits and recent material with new symphonic arrangements.
"Each song had been carefully crafted to include a full orchestral score, and while the melody and lyrics were familiar-the performance took on a musical depth that complimented the unique harmony of the Indigo Girls and cast a spell on the sold out house. We could have sat there enchanted all night." -Seattle Symphony Performance Review, Pebbles to Ponder
