Emily Saliers was born in 1963 in New Haven, CT. A year later in Atlanta, Amy Ray entered the world. When she was in sixth grade, Emily's family moved to Decatur, Georgia, and Emily was enrolled at Laurel Ridge Elementary School, where she would meet her future musical partner. The two quickly became friends and, by high school, had formed a musical duo known simply as Saliers & Ray. Built on intricate harmonies and folk sensibility, the duo began performing at talent shows and open mics around the Atlanta area as the B Band.
In 1981, they recorded their first demo in Amy's basement. After playing the local scene for four years, they adopted the name Indigo Girls and began releasing singles to Atlanta radio.
Their first full-length record, Strange Fire (1987), was released independently to less than thrilling reviews from the music industry. Nevertheless, a year later, the duo snagged a record deal with Epic, who re-released Strange Fire in 1989.
In the beginning of 1989, with the release of what has proven to be their most timeless classic "Closer to Fine," the Indigo girls suddenly had everyone's attention. Their first major label release snagged them a Grammy award for Best Contemporary Folk Recording, as well as a nomination for Best New Artist. They released nine albums on Epic/Sony before parting ways in 2007. They had a brief relationship with American Records but have since opted to go entirely independent forging their own way on their IG Records.
