Melissa Etheridge stormed onto the American rock scene in 1988 with the release of her critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, which led to an appearance on the 1989 Grammy Awards show. For several years, her popularity grew around such memorable originals as “Bring Me Some Water,” “No Souvenirs” and “Ain’t It Heavy,” for which she won a Grammy in 1992. Etheridge hit her commercial and artistic stride with her fourth album, Yes I Am (1993). The collection featured the massive hits, “I’m the Only One” and “Come to My Window,” a searing song of longing that brought Etheridge her second Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Performance. In 1995, Etheridge issued her highest charting album, Your Little Secret, which was distinguished by the hit single, “I Want to Come Over.” Her astounding success that year led to Etheridge receiving the Songwriter of the Year honor at the ASCAP Pop Awards in 1996.

Like R.E.M., the Allman Brothers Band, or OutKast, the Indigo Girls are one of many boundary-breaking acts to emerge from Georgia and help rewrite the rules of popular music. Starting in the late ’80s, they began issuing a string of folk-rock masterpieces where the harmonies suggested family ties and the songs offered anthems of enduring hope. Amy Ray and Emily Saliers helped kick open the door for queer women in music, a door that they continue to hold with albums of unabashed attitude and concerts that feel as intimate and charged as a Sunday service in a country church. Their Spoleto debut is one of the Indigo Girls’ very few shows this year.

Their latest record, Look Long, is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo 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.”
