Grammy Award–winning folk rock music American duo
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.

Thea Austin is a multi-platinum American female dance/house
singer/songwriter/composer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has had numerous chart hits around the world including over 10 in the Billboard Top 100 Pop and Dance Charts topped off by the global smash "Rhythm Is A Dancer," which she co-wrote and sang for Snap! She tours constantly and outside of music has been a staunch global advocate for HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and cure as well as global women's health issues. It is an honor to express my thanks and love for our LGBTQ Pride Festivals. It has been and is a joyful and educational experience for me, as I am one with you in standing together against all forms of discrimination. My experiences with the LGBTQ Pride Festivals are so much fun, but are also a source of expanded awareness and activism in matters of the heart, such as civil and human rights |
I'm inspired by the diligent works and talents of the people involved in these festivals. I am humble and grateful to be accepted and supported by the LGBTQ family, as I am heterosexual and have never been discriminated against in these communities. I've been told by thousands at the LGBTQ Festivals how my songs "Rhythm Is A Dancer" and "I'm Addicted, The Worse Thing For Me" changed their lives from suicidal tendencies to high times dancing away the blues. That is the best!
