A fun conversation with the Indigo Girls before their concert at the Stern Grove Festival in San Francisco!
Holy shit, it's the Indigo Girls! We interviewed the director (Alexandria Bombach) of their documentary It's Only Life After All, at SXSW this year and we've been waiting to interview Amy and Emily ever since. And what better timing than Pride weekend before their set at the Stern Grove Festival - one of our favorite summertime activities in San Francisco!
Amy Ray and Emily Saliers speak as passionately as they sing. They share their early activism and who inspired them to take action, the love affair they have with their fans, their most recent studio album (Look Long) and why it was like returning home, and which musicians they ride or die for (spoiler alert: the list includes a lot of hip-hop!).
Visit the ACTIVISM page on their website and Honor The Earth to get involved and stay active!
Follow the Indigo Girls on IG & FB & Twitter and go see them live as the tour the U.S. and Europe this summer and fall!
