Summer Music
Mon ,23/03/2009I’ve been out of it lately. I was catching up on some blog reading today and discovered that the Indigo Girls have a new CD due out tomorrow (March 24) and on top of that, there is a planned tour stop at the Interlochen Summer Music Festival on June 23! While the Indigo Girls have already published their tour schedule, Interlochen has yet to publish their summer line up, thus, no chance of confirming they will be there or of getting tickets yet. I’m going to the concert. The Indigo Girls have withstood the test of time with me. There are hundreds of bands that I can enjoy for a short time and then they get boring. With the Indigo Girls, I have never really become tired of their music. I have all their albums, including rare tracks and bootlegs, and they are one of the few bands that I follow around the Internet rather consistently. I have however never been to one of their concerts. I’ve always been too poor to buy tickets or just too busy to go. Having been a fan now since I was 15 or so (nearly 20 years) I think it’s time to join the plethora of lesbians (and some gay men) and freaky PETA supporting, anti-fur, anti-consumerist, anti-whatever crowd for a night and see them live. Their music is defined as much by their amazing vocals and harmony as their political messages, many of which I can support, some of which I just can’t. Anyhow, they are a band that for me is like the Grateful Dead was to many, one should try to see them live at least once in your life.
