Compelling folk/rock rooted in social consciousness from peerless harmonizers (Indigo Girls) and a renowned Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner (Baez).

• A musical force of nature, Joan Baez has been awarded the prestigious Folk Alliance International Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011 and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.

• More than 50 years since she began her career at the famed Club 47 in Boston, Joan Baez remains a musical force of nature whose journey has been driven by a passion for human rights, the path of which has taken her from marching on the front lines of the Civil Rights movement with Martin Luther King Jr. to inspiring Vaclav Havel to fight for a Czech Republic, and points in between too numerous to mention.

• Baez unselfconsciously introduced Bob Dylan to the world in 1963 and continues to serve as a lightening rod for generations of songwriters, most recently on her 2008 Grammy-nominated studio album, Day After Tomorrow, the release of which was followed by the PBS American Masters premiere of her life story, Joan Baez: How Sweet The Sound.

• The simple formula of earnest, intelligent songwriting, commanding harmonies, and effortless live performances has made the Indigo Girls a favorite folk/rock act for more than 20 years. Since their Grammy Award-winning single “Closer to Fine” topped the charts in the late 1980s, the duo of Amy Ray and Emily Saliers have released multiple platinum records including the popular Rites of Passage and Shaming of the Sun.
• In 2011 Indigo Girls released Beauty Queen Sister, which “finds the Indigo Girls operating as powerfully as at any time in their career, on a set of uncommonly strong songs performed with the kind of typically understated Nashville polish that affords their signature harmonies the full spotlight.”—The Independent
