O Indigo Girls é composto por Amy Ray e Emily Saliers. Elas se conheceram no playground de uma escola primária em Decatur, Georgia, e têm tocado juntas desde o ensino médio. Foram contratadas pela Epic Records em 1989 e ganharam o Grammy de melhor albúm comtemporâneo folk naquele ano. Algumas de suas músicas são "Galileo", "Closer to Fine," e "Shame on You."
Além de musicistas, Ray e Saliers são ativistas, sempre apoiando campanhas para o controle de armas
