It’s been a busy time for the iconic folk duo. While 2023 saw Indigo Girls‘ iconic song “Closer to Fine” used prominently in Greta Gerwig’s hit film Barbie, 2024 finds the Indigo Girls and their music in two films as well as playing their biggest tour venues in 25 years on co-billed tours with Amos Lee and Melissa Etheridge. They’ll be touring most of August and September, playing such legendary venues as the Greek Theater in L.A., Red Rocks Amphitheater, and more. The duo were guests earlier this year on both Morning Joe and The Today Show, where they performed their single from the musical film Glitter & Doom, “What We Wanna Be.”

Indigo Girls: It’s Only Life After All,  the acclaimed documentary feature by Alexandria Bombach, is now available VOD and on Netflix. The film has screened at major festivals across the globe in 2023, including Sundance Film Festival, Tribeca Festival, SXSW, and Toronto’s Hot Docs and will finally see its theatrical release through distributor O-Scope Labs. The Indigo Girls’ music takes center stage in another new film, the jukebox musical romance Glitter & Doom, out now. Directed by Tom Gustafson (Were the World Mine, Frameline32), Glitter & Doom boasts a star-studded queer supporting cast featuring Lea DeLaria, Tig Notaro, Kate Pierson of The B-52s, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Peppermint, and even a cameo from the Indigo Girls themselves. Music Box Films released the film in NYC and L.A. Indigo Girls also performed their new single from the film, “What We Wanna Be,” on the Today Show.  More on Glitter & Doom at https://www.musicboxfilms.com/film/glitter-doom/.

On their sixteenth studio album, 2020’s Look Long, Indigo Girls tell their origin story. Look Long is a stirring and eclectic collection of songs that finds the duo reunited with their strongest backing band to date. Produced by John Reynolds (Sinéad O’Connor, Damien Dempsey) and recorded in the countryside outside Bath, England at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, these 11 songs have a tender, revealing motion to them, as if they’re feeding into a Super 8 film projector, illuminating a darkened living room. “When We Were Writers” recounts the flying sparks and passion Saliers felt as a young college student when the duo first started performing together. “Shit Kickin’” is a nuanced love letter to Ray’s Southern heritage. “I’m a little bit left of the ‘salt of the earth’ / That’s alright, I’ll prove my worth,” she sings. “As time has gone on, our audience has become more expansive and diverse which gives me a great sense of joy,” says Saliers.
