SUMMARY:Indigo Girls: Look Long Tour
DESCRIPTION:Released in 1989\, Indigo Girls’ eponymous major label debut sold over two million copies under the power of singles “Closer to Fine” and “Kid Fears” and turned Indigo Girls into one of the most successful folk duos in history. Over a thirty-five-year career that began in clubs around their native Atlanta\, Georgia\, the multi-Grammy-winning duo of Emily Saliers and Amy Ray has recorded sixteen studio albums\, sold over 15 million records\, and built a dedicated\, enduring following across the globe. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners.” Committed and uncompromising activists\, they work on issues like immigration reform (El Refugio)\, LGBTQ advocacy\, education (Imagination Library)\, death penalty reform\, and Native American rights. They are co-founders of Honor the Earth\, a non-profit dedicated to the survival of sustainable Native communities\, Indigenous environmental justice\, and green energy solutions.  \n\n\n\nTheir latest record\, Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers reunited in the studio with their strongest backing band to date. “We joke about being old\, but what is old when it comes to music? We’re still a bar band at heart\,” says Saliers. “While our lyrics and writing approach may change\, our passion for music feels the same as it did when we were 25-years-old.” “As time has gone on\, our audience has become more expansive and diverse\, giving me a sense of joy\,” she adds. To hear those collective voices raise into one\, singing along and overpowering the band itself\, one realizes the importance Indigo Girls’ music has in this moment. In our often-terrifying present\, we are all in search of a daily refuge\, a stolen hour or two\, to engage with something that brings us joy\, perspective\, or maybe just calm. As one bar band once put it\, “We go to the doctor\, we go to the mountains…we go to the Bible\, we go through the work out.” For millions\, they go to the Indigo Girls. On Look Long they’ll find a creative partnership certain of its bearings\, forging a way forward.

SUMMARY:George Thorogood and The Destroyers
DESCRIPTION:In a five-decade career fueled by 8\,000+ live shows\, more than 15 million albums sold\, and a global reputation as “the band that plays hot enough to melt the polar icecaps” (Rolling Stone) and “one of the 5 best acts left out of The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” (WNBF Binghamton)\, where can “one of the most iconic bands in rock history” (Rapid City Journal) possibly go from here? \n\n\n\n“That’s all pretty good for the first 50 years\,” George Thorogood says with a laugh. “But we keep working harder\, digging deeper and playing stronger. Now it’s time to go back out there and do some serious rockin’.” For George Thorogood & The Destroyers\, serious rockin’ will always be what they do best. And for 2025\, The Baddest Show On Earth Tour will bring the guitar-slinging\, amp-blasting\, roof-shaking rock party like never before.  \n\n\n\nGeorge and longtime Destroyers Jeff Simon (drums)\, Bill Blough (bass)\, Jim Suhler (guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) are now taking all the drum-bashing\, bass-pounding\, sax-wailing\, monster guitar energy of the past five decades and pouring it into The Baddest Show On Earth Tour\, with “the boogie-blues Sinatra” (Classic Rock History) as its relentless ringmaster. “If the circus makes everyone feel like a kid again\, this tour will make you feel like a teenager\,” George says with a grin. “I consider us to be a musical high-wire act that works without a net\, and we’ll be bringing all the danger\, thrills\, and fun that our audiences can handle. Because that’s what great rock & roll is all about.”
