Indigo Girls
Atlanta folk duo
Indigo Girls is an American folk rock duo formed in 1985, consisting of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers.
Known for close vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar-driven songs, they became one of the most successful folk acts of the late 1980s and 1990s: Their harmonies remind me of the Indigo Girls.
The name has become shorthand for earnest, acoustic women's music with feminist and progressive themes.
