The Indigo Girls performed an excellent concert in Northampton on May 27. The Academy of Music was sold out. The audience sang along to many of the songs, sometimes so loudly that the band's Amy Ray and Emily Saliers stopped singing and listened, smiling.

Highlights were the songs “Texas Was Clean,” “Jonas and Ezekiel,” and “Sugar Tongue.” Ray and Saliers, who both play guitar, were accompanied by an outstanding violin player, but not by any other musicians. The Valley Post interviewed Ray and Saliers separately last year, following the release of their new album. Those interviews are at:
