Indigo Girls
June 22nd, 2009 by Barb SThe fans were singing, clapping and dancing along to their favorite Indigo Girls songs Sunday night. They were more than receptive to the songs from their new album “Poseidon and the Bitter Bug” – which was good, since Amy Ray and Emily Saliers performed almost all of the tracks from their new disc (just released in March). Amy and Emily started off the show with two new songs and interspersed the new material with the older more familiar tunes during a solid 90 minute plus set, and a two song encore. Nearly two dozen songs, with the new material seamlessly intertwined among the fan favorites. Included were some of the songs that you can find on WYEP’s 913 Essential Songs Countdown: “Power of Two”, “Galileo” (final song of the evening) and the #1 essential song “Closer to Fine” which brought David Ryan Harris back up on stage to join the Indigo Girls on a verse or two. Amy shined solo on “Romeo & Juliet”. Julie Wolf accompanied the Indigo Girls on stage playing electric keyboards and accordion and providing backing vocals.
