Amy Ray: How The Indigo Girls Became The Greatest Band of All Time

When Amy Ray first started playing music with her Indigo Girls bandmate, Emily Saliers, her "head felt like it was going to explode". She remembers thinking, "This is amazing. Not, we sound amazing. But this feels amazing. It was always about, This feels amazing." They've been playing together for over 35 years now and it's their music that the queer community (and Greta Gerwig in the new Barbie movie) continues to return to again and again. Amy joins us to talk about the band's legacy, coming out publicly in the '90s, and the lasting power of "Closer to Fine". LGBTQ&A is hosted and produced by Jeffrey Masters. @jeffmasters1 Want to recommend a guest for our new season?
