- Tonight - Indigo
Girls at the Freeman Stage, Freeman Stage. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers are Indigo
Girls. Rolling Stone describes them as the “ideal duet partners. Their
voices soar and swoop as one, alternately raucous and soothing. When they
sing together, they radiate a sense of shared purpose that adds muscle to
their lanky, deeply felt folk-tinged pop songs”. Together they write,
arrange, record and perform music which over the course of twenty five
years has become a vital part of the lives of their legion of devoted fans
around the world, informing and rewarding them day to day. With twelve
original studio albums, three live records, various Greatest Hits
compilations, a Rarities and a Christmas record to their credit, the
iconic duo continues to challenge itself creatively, over and over again,
adding to a body of work that contains such contemporary classic songs as
Galileo, Shame on You, Closer To Fine, Kid Fears, Love of Our Lives,
Making Promises, Get out the Map, Moment of Forgiveness, Least Complicated
and Go. After numerous Grammy nominations and awards and gold and platinum
certifications and decades of touring in clubs, arenas and everything in between,
Indigo Girls remain active and relevant, always viewing their music as a
fresh opportunity for exploration and discovery. “We really work hard to
not lean on any tried and true path in making our albums,” says Ray. “So
when it comes to writing new songs and working and performing with
different musicians, every record and every tour feels like a completely
different adventure for us.” $39 –
$74. Seating is provided and
assigned.

Jim and Bob were golfing one fine day, when Jim, an
avid golfer, slices his ball deep into a wooded ravine. Jim takes his 8 iron and proceeds down the
embankment into the ravine, in search of his lost ball. The brush is quite thick, but Jim searches
diligently for his errant ball. Suddenly Jim spots something shiny. As he nears
the location of the shiny object, Jim realizes that it is an eight iron in the
hands of a skeleton lying near an old golf ball.
Jim excitedly calls for his partner Bob. "Hey
Bob, come here, I got trouble down here." Bob comes running over to the edge of the
ravine and calls out to Jim, "What's the matter Jim?" Jim shouts back in a nervous voice,
"Bring me my wedge. You can't get
out of here with an 8."
