Indigo Girls
Thursday, July 23, 2009 • 7:30 p.m.
 It's been more than two decades since the folk/rock duo the Indigo Girls launched their career with their independently released debut Strange Fire. Now, ten major-label studio albums later, Emily Saliers and Amy Ray have come full circle with the new two-disc album, Poseidon And The Bitter Bug, on their own label IG Recordings. With a legacy of releases and tours behind them, the Indigo Girls have outlasted many of their peers and earned a loyal fan base along the way with songs including "Closer to Fine," "Galileo" and "Shame On You." They've balanced their music with an unwavering commitment to social, political and environmental issues. Special guest TBA.

Reviews:
I liked the opening act very much. David Ryan Harris is a talented and humorous performer. I got tired of hearing about his wife, though.
Meanwhile, Indigo Girls, although good, seemed to be winding down, exhausted on the last few stops of a tour. I don’t know where the keyboard player’s head was, but even I heard lots of mistakes. She just didn’t seemed dialed in last night.
But my true concern was with the group of about 6 loud women sitting behind us on the lawn. They jabbered through the entire first act in spite of my one friend turning around to give them a “look.” We figured they’d quiet down for Indigo Girls, but they yacked through that as well. When the music got louder, they spoke louder. My one polite request for them to tone it down a little so we could hear better resulted in one minute of solitude before they were back at it. At about 9:45, the other person in our party turned around and told them, rather emphatically, to shut up, that they were the rudest, most inconsiderate people she’d ever seen at a concert. That bought us another moment of quietude before they picked up again, yacking louder than ever. We finally grabbed our blankets and fled to a spot down the hill, on the side.
Our right to hear a concert was taken away last night by these people, who will no doubt do the same thing again. What were our options? Could we have asked Security to deal with them?
Thanks – still, great shows, great venue, don’t ever stop!!! Hi Hayleyanne,
Thanks for your comments. Yes, please don’t hesitate to ask an Usher (in blue aprons) or Event Staff (in white shirts) volunteer for help if you’re in a situation like that. We strive to make the experience as pleasant as possible for our patrons. I hope you’ll come back to more concerts this summer!
Thanks,
